Introduction
SF-C1316USB-2525-AF-D78 V1.0 is a compact 16MP USB 2.0 camera module for devices that require higher image resolution, VCM Autofocus and a smaller camera PCB. It supports PDAF, 4K@15FPS video and YUV/MJPEG output. The 25 × 25mm structure, D78° lens and 10cm-to-infinity working range can be evaluated for document capture, identification terminals and compact inspection devices.
The supplied mechanical drawing identifies the model and confirms the dedicated compact board structure.
Applications in Real Devices
Compact Document and Identification Capture
Document and identification terminals need to preserve fine printed details while fitting the camera into a restricted front-panel area. The 16MP sensor route provides additional image resolution,
while VCM Autofocus and PDAF support can help the system handle targets positioned at different distances. The 25 × 25mm PCB is smaller than common 38 × 38mm USB camera boards, supporting tighter mechanical layouts. Final text readability, focus response, lighting uniformity, capture distance and host software should be tested with the actual document size and enclosure opening.
Component Inspection Terminals
The module can be considered for compact inspection devices that observe components between approximately 10cm and longer distances. D78° coverage provides a more controlled view than an ultra-wide optical route.
Embedded Kiosks and Smart Terminals
The 25 × 25mm structure and USB 2.0 output can support embedded terminals that capture users, documents or objects without requiring a direct MIPI sensor connection.
Project Evaluation Guide
Consider This Model When
- The project requires 16MP image resolution.
- A 25 × 25mm PCB is preferred over a 38 × 38mm structure.
- VCM Autofocus and PDAF are required for changing target distances.
- 4K@15FPS meets the video requirement.
Confirm Before Sampling
- Host support for the required Autofocus and PDAF control route.
- Main target-distance range and expected focus response.
- Required D78° scene coverage and enclosure opening.
- YUV or MJPEG output requirements.
- USB 2.0 host bandwidth and software compatibility.
- 25 × 25mm board space, lens height and connector routing.
Choosing This Model Within the 4K USB Camera Module Series
SF-C1316USB-2525-AF-D78 V1.0 occupies the compact 16MP Autofocus position within the 4K USB Camera Module Series. It may be considered when PCB size and image resolution are more important than the highest 4K frame rate. Projects requiring USB 3.0, a 38 × 38mm structure and faster 4K video may compare SF13A886. Projects requiring an elongated board and lower optical distortion may evaluate SF-OC2688-415-V1.0.

SincereFirst Customization
Lens and D78° FOV
The standard lens provides D78° coverage with a 3.95mm focal length and F1.8 aperture. Alternative lens directions can be evaluated according to the target area, working distance and permitted distortion.
PDAF and VCM Autofocus
PDAF and VCM Autofocus behavior can be reviewed according to the host-control environment, minimum target distance, target contrast and expected focus response.
Compact PCB and USB Connector
The 25 × 25mm PCB, mounting-hole positions, lens height, cable exit and 5-pin connector direction can be coordinated with the device enclosure and host-board location.
USB 2.0 and Output Integration
YUV/MJPEG modes, USB bandwidth, Autofocus control and host-software compatibility can be evaluated with the target operating system and image-acquisition workflow.
Final configuration should be validated with the actual host platform, enclosure, optics, software, and lighting environment before sampling.
FAQ
What is the main difference from a typical 38 × 38mm USB module?
The module uses a smaller 25 × 25mm PCB while providing 16MP resolution, VCM Autofocus and PDAF support.
Does the module use Fixed Focus?
No. The confirmed configuration uses VCM Autofocus with a working range from 10cm to infinity.
What does PDAF mean for project evaluation?
PDAF provides phase-detection information for the focus process. Final focus behavior still depends on firmware, host control, target contrast, lighting and lens configuration.
Is the module intended for high-frame-rate 4K capture?
No. Its confirmed maximum 4K rate is 15FPS. The primary value is compact 16MP Autofocus imaging rather than high-frame-rate 4K video.
