Choosing an endoscope camera module for an OEM device is not only a matter of image resolution. Engineers must also evaluate probe diameter, front-end length, LED layout, field of view, focusing range, waterproof support, cable length, connector design, main board size and host system compatibility.
The SF-C0115USB-D2.8-PRO V1.2 is a 2.8mm separate-type USB endoscope camera module designed for compact close-range visualization. It supports YUV / MJPEG output at 240×320@30fps, uses 4pcs 0201 LEDs, provides a 105° field of view, supports a 3–50mm focusing range and has IP67 support.
This article explains how OEM teams can evaluate and integrate this module into medical, industrial and compact inspection devices.
The SF-C0115USB-D2.8-PRO V1.2 is positioned as a compact USB endoscope camera module for narrow-space observation. Its D2.8 front-end size makes it suitable for devices that need a slim probe structure. The 4pcs LED design supports local illumination, while the USB output path helps simplify testing and early-stage integration.
Key specifications include:
2.8mm diameter
0.08MP imaging class
240×320@30fps YUV / MJPEG output
4pcs 0201 LEDs
10mm front-end length
Plastic lens
105° field of view
3–50mm focusing range
IP67 support
1m standard cable length
44×18mm main board
Bonding wire front connection
Micro USB back-end connection
These specifications show that the module is intended for compact close-range visualization rather than high-resolution imaging.
The first step is to confirm whether a 2.8mm camera head can fit the customer’s target device.
For many OEM projects, diameter directly affects product structure, user handling, access space and mechanical design. A 2.8mm module is useful when the device needs to enter a narrow channel but still requires integrated LED illumination and IP67-supported construction.
If the target application can accept a larger diameter, higher-resolution alternatives may be considered. If the space is more limited, smaller-diameter modules may need to be evaluated.
The SF-C0115USB-D2.8-PRO V1.2 supports 240×320@30fps output. This resolution is suitable for basic close-range visual observation, especially when the main purpose is to confirm structure, access, blockage, alignment or surface condition.
However, if the application requires fine detail recognition, documentation-grade imaging, AI analysis or high-definition video, this resolution may not be sufficient.
OEM teams should define the real imaging goal before choosing the module. In compact endoscope design, higher resolution is not always the best choice if it increases probe diameter, cost, heat or integration complexity.
The module supports a 3–50mm focusing range. This makes it suitable for close-range observation where the target object is near the camera head.
This is important for endoscope devices because many medical and industrial applications operate inside a narrow space. If the camera needs to observe objects at a longer distance, a different lens configuration or another module may be needed.
When evaluating samples, the customer should test the module at the actual working distance of the final device.
A 105° FOV helps the module capture a wider area in confined environments. For close-range inspection, this can make the image easier to interpret because users can see more surrounding context.
However, wide-angle viewing may not be ideal for every application. If the project requires detailed observation of a small target area, a narrower FOV may be more suitable.
For OEM projects, FOV should be evaluated together with working distance, probe diameter and target object size.
The module uses 4pcs 0201 LEDs. This helps provide local illumination in dark cavities and compact inspection spaces.
Before integration, engineers should confirm:
Is the LED brightness suitable for the target environment?
Is the lighting distribution acceptable?
Will reflection be a problem?
Is the target surface shiny, wet or curved?
Does the device need additional light control?
This model does not include dimming according to the specification, so if adjustable brightness is required, the project should be reviewed separately.
The SF-C0115USB-D2.8-PRO V1.2 supports IP67. This is valuable for devices that may face moisture, cleaning, fluid exposure or harsh inspection environments.
However, IP67 performance depends not only on the camera module itself, but also on how it is assembled into the final product. Housing, sealing, cable routing, adhesive, shell design and connector protection can all affect final waterproof performance.
OEM customers should conduct final waterproof validation after device integration.
This model has a 1m standard cable length, bonding wire front connection and Micro USB back-end connection. The main board size is 44×18mm.
Before sample confirmation, the device team should check:
Is the 1m standard cable length suitable?
Is the main board size acceptable inside the device?
Can the Micro USB back-end connection fit the system layout?
Is the bonding wire front connection suitable for the probe design?
Will the cable experience bending, pulling or repeated movement?
Does the device require a different connector direction?
These details are important because many endoscope device issues are caused by mechanical mismatch rather than image performance alone.
When sending an RFQ for the SF-C0115USB-D2.8-PRO V1.2 or a similar custom endoscope camera module, customers should provide:
Target application
Medical or industrial use case
Required probe diameter
Required resolution
Working distance
Field of view requirement
Need for LED illumination
Waterproof requirement
Cable length
Connector type
Main board space
Expected sample quantity
Estimated production volume
Special mechanical requirements
Target certification or testing requirements
The more complete the RFQ information is, the easier it is to confirm whether this model is suitable or whether another module should be recommended.
The SF-C0115USB-D2.8-PRO V1.2 is suitable for:
Compact USB inspection devices
Narrow-cavity observation tools
Medical visualization device prototypes
Veterinary or dental inspection tools
Industrial borescope development
Short-distance close-focus inspection
Projects requiring a 2.8mm IP67-supported camera head
It is not the first choice for applications that require HD imaging, long-distance inspection, adjustable dimming, large scene capture or advanced image recognition.
Endoscope camera module selection should always start from the application.
A 2.8mm 240×320 module may be very practical in one narrow-cavity device, but not enough for another project that requires high-detail imaging. A USB interface may be perfect for prototype testing, but another interface may be needed for embedded mass production. A 105° FOV may help in wide close-range observation, but another optical angle may be needed for detailed target inspection.
That is why OEM evaluation should consider the complete system: diameter, optics, illumination, waterproof structure, cable, connector, host system and user scenario.
