KD3008-DF54A Printheads High speed thick film thermal printhead (11.8 dots / mm) KD3008-DF54A Using its expertise in LSI technology, ROHM has developed new high density driver chips for use in the KD3008-DF54A. Capable of being employed for both thermal and thermal transfer printing, with a print speed of 100mm/s, the resulting print heads are the fastest in their class. The high-speed and high-density printing answers the needs of POS, ATM, KIOSK, and ticket printing devices, which are increasingly being called upon to produce graphical output. zApplications Label printers ATM printers KIOSK printers Ticket printers zFeatures 1) The use of a special partial glaze and the latest heating element structure, along with new high-density driver chips that can accept big current, has allowed ROHM to achieve print speeds of 100mm/s with using thermal history control, the fastest in its class. 2) Standard printheads in the line up are capable of 300dpi. They achieve the high resolution needed for graphics and other complex print patterns. zDimensions (Unit : mm) 230.5±0.3 (Heatsink width) 230 (Substrate width) 216.832 (Effective print width) (9) Dot #2560 Dot #1 2.6±0.1 MAX.23.6 CL .0 25 .φ ax M No.15 No.1 No.15 No.1 CONNECTOR.B No.1 No.15 CONNECTOR.A 6.1±0.2 (14) CONNECTOR.C 96±0.2 (12.25) 206±0.2 5-M3(Effective depth 3) Center of heat element 1/4 KD3008-DF54A Printheads zEquivalent circuit DOT #2560 VH DOT #1 ··· GND 20 ··· ··· ··· 16 ··· 15 ··· ··· ··· 11 ··· 10 ··· ··· ··· 6 ··· 5 VH ··· ··· GND 1 V DD V DD STB4 STB1 LAT LATCH REGISTER CLK SHIFT REGISTER SHIFT REGISTER SHIFT REGISTER SHIFT REGISTER DI4 DO4 DI1 DO1 DI3 DI2 DO3 DO2 CONNECTOR C CONNECTOR A THERMISTOR 30kΩ B:3950 STB3 GND TM TM STB2 CONNECTOR B STB No. Dot No. Dots / STB.
