CMOS mini spectrometer C12666MA

ultracompact

Overview
The C12666MA is an ultra-compact (fingertip size) mini-spectrometer head based on MEMS and CMOS image sensor technologies. A redesigned optical system reduces the unit volume to less than half of the previous MS series. Hermetic packaging improves humidity resistance, enabling reliable integration into compact devices for color management and portable instrument collaboration.

Features

• Fingertip size: 20.1 × 12.5 × 10.1 mm
• Weight: 5 g
• Spectral response range: 340 to 780 nm
• Spectral resolution: up to 15 nm (FWHM)
• Hermetic package for improved humidity resistance
• Designed for installation in mobile measurement equipment
• Wavelength conversion factor provided on test result sheet

Measurement example
A demonstration module with a built-in Micro series mini-spectrometer was used to measure the spectrum of a color sample. The compact size allows mounting in color adjustment units for printers, LED dimming systems and other portable color measuring instruments.

Application examples

• Integration into printers for color management
