TDK Industrial PrintHead LH6413S

1. Core advantages

① Ultra-high resolution (305dpi)

The accuracy is up to 12 dots/mm, surpassing the common 203/300dpi in the industry, and is particularly suitable for printing:

Micro text (such as electronic component labels, medical instructions).

High-density QR code/barcode (improves scanning success rate).

Complex graphics (industrial logos, anti-counterfeiting patterns).

② Long-life design

Ceramic substrate + wear-resistant coating, with a theoretical life of 200 kilometers of printing length (better than similar competing products).

The electrode adopts gold plating process, which is anti-oxidation and reduces the risk of poor contact.

③ High-speed response and low power consumption

The heating element is optimized to support high-speed printing of more than 50mm/s (such as logistics sorting lines).

Dynamic power regulation, energy consumption is reduced by 15%~20% compared with traditional models.

④ Wide compatibility

Supports two modes: thermal transfer (ribbon) and direct thermal (inkless).

Adaptable to a variety of media: synthetic paper, PET labels, ordinary thermal paper, etc.

2. Detailed technical features

① Physical parameters

Printing width: 104mm (standard model, other widths can be customized).

Working voltage: 5V/12V DC (depending on the driver configuration).

Interface type: high reliability FPC (flexible circuit) interface, vibration resistance.

② Thermal control technology

Multi-point independent temperature control: Each heating point can fine-tune the temperature to avoid local overheating.

Grayscale adjustment: Support multi-level grayscale printing (such as gradient patterns).

③ Environmental adaptability

Working temperature: 0~50℃, humidity 10~85% RH (no condensation).

Dust-proof design: reduce the impact of paper scraps/ribbon residue.

3. Typical application scenarios

Electronic manufacturing industry: PCB board labels, chip traceability codes (need to be resistant to high temperature and chemical corrosion).

Medical industry: drug labels, test tube labels (high-precision printing of small fonts).

Logistics warehousing: high-speed sorting labels (taking into account speed and clarity).

Retail and finance: high-end product labels, anti-counterfeit bill printing.
