1. DAI384G Uncooled Infrared Thermal Imaging Module Overview

The DAI384G is an ultra‑compact shutterless uncooled infrared thermal imaging module featuring a 28×28 mm footprint and ultra‑low power consumption. Designed for portability and miniaturisation, it offers multiple configurations and optional lenses, making it an ideal choice for cost‑effective OEM assembly and integration in applications that demand low power, small size and high performance.

2. Product Features

  • Ultra‑small form factor: 28×28 mm PCB size fits easily into space‑constrained devices.
  • Ultra‑low power consumption: < 0.7 W typical, extending battery life in portable systems.
  • Shutterless technology: Eliminates mechanical shutter for higher reliability, faster start‑up (<7 s) and silent operation.
  • High sensitivity: ≤40 mK @ f/1.0 delivers sharp thermal images with excellent contrast.
  • Customisable interfaces: Optional digital video and communication ports allow flexible system integration.
  • Multiple lens options: Available focal lengths include 12 mm, 19 mm, 25 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm and more.
  • Robust environmental tolerance: Wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +60°C) and military‑grade vibration/shock resistance.
