FLIR Lepton 3

The FLIR Lepton® 3, FLIR's highest resolution LWIR micro thermal camera solution, delivers full 160 x 120 pixel thermal resolution, a 4x increase over earlier Lepton versions. The revolutionary Lepton was the first complete longwave infrared thermal camera small enough to be used in smartphones and other mobile devices. The new, higher resolution Lepton 3 gives users better image detail in a powerful, compact, lightweight package for even greater utility in commercial applications as both a thermal camera and a detection sensor. Smaller than a dime and ten times less expensive than a traditional IR camera, the 160 x 120 resolution Lepton brings high quality thermal vision everywhere.

Tips for integrating Lepton into a Housing

• Recommended Material
  • PORON®
• Socket Stack
  • Socket > Lepton > Foam > Window > Enclosure
• Maximum Force
  • < 1Kg (more force will damage the shutter)
• The foam must be cut out so that it does not interfere with the mechanical shutter pins.
• Thickness
  • Depends on the enclosure and spacing, do not exceed 1Kg of force.
