Product in Action: Contactless Body Temperature Measurement

Precision connectivity supports reliable thermal imaging and non-contact medical screening systems.

Contactless body temperature measurement is widely used for fast, non-invasive health screening in public and medical environments. Thermal imaging systems enable accurate temperature detection without physical contact, supporting efficient monitoring in high-traffic areas.

Behind these systems, reliable fine-pitch connectivity is essential to ensure accurate data transfer, stable performance, and precise mechanical alignment within compact device designs.

Key Features

• 5mm pitch connectivity for compact medical devices
• Raised shoulder design for precise board-to-device alignment
• Reliable electrical performance for accurate temperature data capture
• Space-saving form factor for constrained PCB layouts

Application

• Thermal imaging devices
• Fever screening systems
• Non-contact medical monitoring equipment

Markets:

• Healthcare and medical devices
• Public safety and access control
• Transportation hubs and public facilities

Engineering Background

Thermal imaging systems identify elevated body temperature by detecting heat at specific facial reference points, such as the inner corner of the eye. These devices rely on precise internal alignment and stable electrical connections to ensure measurement accuracy and consistent system performance.

The Challenge

Engineers require a 0.5mm pitch socket similar to existing sub-miniature solutions, but with a raised shoulder to meet specific board-to-device positioning requirements. Standard connectors could not provide the required mating height while maintaining a compact footprint.

Harwin Solution

Harwin developed a customized variation of the H3155 sub-miniature socket, featuring a shoulder positioned further down the socket body. This design raises the mating face to the required height, ensuring precise alignment, reliable connectivity, and compatibility with space-constrained medical device designs.
