The onsemi AR1820HSSC12SHEA0-DP is an 18 megapixel colour CMOS image sensor on a 1/2.3 inch optical format, supplied in a 60-pin iBGA package with a protective film in tray packaging. It specifies a 12 degree chief ray angle, which must be matched by the lens module to avoid vignetting and colour shading at the edges of the frame. The sensor was introduced on 2020-02-05 and is now marked end-of-life by onsemi, so it is available on the open market rather than through normal distribution. It is RoHS and China RoHS compliant. Attribute coverage on this record is limited to seven fields.

The AR1820HSSC12SHEA0-DP is used in camera modules where high still-image resolution on a compact 1/2.3 inch sensor is the requirement. Applications for sensors of this class include security and surveillance cameras, action and sports cameras, drone and aerial imaging payloads, machine vision and barcode or document scanning, and industrial inspection systems. The 12 degree chief ray angle specification indicates it is designed for a matched compact lens assembly rather than a large-format optic. Because the part is end-of-life, buyers are typically sustaining an existing camera design where re-qualifying a new sensor would require optical, mechanical and image-tuning rework. That makes remaining stock of this exact part number valuable to manufacturers with an installed platform to support.
