Omron Sentech STC-SPC500PCL – 5MP Color Camera Link Global Shutter CMOS Camera

The Omron Sentech STC-SPC500PCL is a high-performance 5MP color Camera Link industrial camera designed for precision imaging in machine vision and automation systems. Equipped with the Sony IMX264 global shutter CMOS sensor, it delivers crisp, distortion-free images with excellent color accuracy, even when capturing fast-moving objects.

With a resolution of 2448 × 2048 pixels and a frame rate of up to 35.7 fps (8-bit), the STC-SPC500PCL is optimized for applications requiring high image quality and stable throughput rather than maximum speed. Its Camera Link interface with PoCL (Power over Camera Link) ensures high-bandwidth, low-latency data transmission while simplifying cabling.

The camera’s compact 35 × 35 × 40.7 mm housing and C-mount lens compatibility make it easy to integrate into space-constrained systems or OEM designs. Advanced features include ROI scanning, binning, decimation, defective pixel correction, image flip, and multiple trigger modes, ensuring versatility for a wide range of inspection and measurement needs.

Typical applications include PCB and semiconductor inspection, electronics and surface defect detection, packaging quality control, and precision measurement systems.
