Available now from $15: Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 Sensor Assemblies

Since its launch two-and-a-half years ago, our 12-megapixel autofocus Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 has found a home in countless enthusiast projects, and in a wide range of industrial and embedded applications.

But we’ve found that some of our embedded customers want to integrate our camera technology into smaller form factors than our 25 × 24mm module footprint can support. To help these customers, we’re pleased to announce that the Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 Sensor Assemblies are now available to purchase as standalone products, priced from just $15.

Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 Sensor Assemblies offer the same IMX708 4608×2592 (11.9 megapixel) sensor, with 1.40μm pixels, and the same Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) capability as Camera Module 3. We are providing reference schematics and a bill of materials to assist you in integrating the required support components onto your own PCB.

Like Camera Module 3, Camera Module 3 Sensor Assemblies are available in both visible-light and infrared-sensitive (NoIR) variants, and with either a standard (75° diagonal) or a wide (120° diagonal) field of view; and like Camera Module 3, there is a $10 price difference between the standard FOV variants and the wide FOV variants.

Camera Module 3 Sensor Assembly NoIR	$15
Camera Module 3 Sensor Assembly Wide	$25
Camera Module 3 Sensor Assembly Wide NoIR	$25

Cameras are the original Raspberry Pi accessory, dating back to the launch of Camera Module 1 in May 2013. They are already found in applications as diverse as workplace safety, wildlife conservation, glacier stability monitoring, manufacturing quality control and museum-based education. We look forward to seeing Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 Sensor Assemblies take our imaging technology to new and exciting places!
