KD2004-CF10A Printheads Compact medium speed thick film thermal printhead (8dots / mm) KD2004-CF10A The KD2004-CF10A is ideal for applications that require compact, lightweight thermal printheads, such as POS and label printer applications. The 203dpi has a resolution of the 2-, 3-, 4-, and 8-inch sizes. This series is suitable for a wide range of applications. zApplications POS printers Label printers Receipt printers General purpose compact printers zFeatures 1) Both ROHM’s advanced LSI technology and proprietary partial glaze are used to realize higher printing efficiency. With a high print speed of 100mm/s, this series is also suitable for thermal transfer printing. 2) Besides the fact that harness-type direct connectors at either end allow wring to be fitted as convenient, the thermal printheads can be applied directly to the substrate without a heat sink. Both these features give engineers greater freedom when designing the printer mechanism. 3) One rank resistance value of 800Ω ± 3% eliminates the inconvenience of rank selection. 4) The required driving voltage of 3.13 to 5.25V allows wide range of power supply voltage setting. This also allows multiple choice of electronic components for printers. zExternal dimensions (Unit : mm) 119 (HEATSINK WIDTH) 5.85 DOT #1 4.0 . φ1 2.6 Max No.9 No.9 No.1 CONNECTOR B 5 4.6 16 15.1 Max. 1.7 108 (EFFECTIVE PRINT WIDTH) DOT #864 No.1 CONNECTOR A 109 2-M3 1/4 KD2004-CF10A Printheads zEquivalent circuit VH GND DOT #864 8,9 STB3 1,2 8,9 6 STB4 DOT #1 1,2 5 4 3 2 VH GND 1 5 7 6 6 STB1 STB2 5 LATCH REGISTER DI V DD TM SHIFT REGISTER 4 3 LAT 3 7 4 DO CLK THERMISTOR CONNECTOR B CONNECTOR A Fig.1 zPin assignments CONNECTOR B CONNECTOR A No. Circuit No. Circuit 1 GND 1 VH 2 GND 2 VH 3 TM 3 DO 4 VDD 4 CLK 5 STB4 5 LAT 6 STB3 6 STB2 7 DI 7 STB1 8 VH 8 GND 9 VH 9 GND 2/4 KD2004-CF10A Printheads zTiming chart tw CLK CLOCK (CLK) t setup DI t hold DI DATA IN (DI) "High" :BLACK "Low" :WHITE td DO DATA OUT (DO) "High" :BLACK "Low" :WHITE t hold LAT t setup LAT LATCH (LAT) "High" :HOLD "Low" :THROUGH tw LAT t setup STB STROBE (STB) tdo tdo DRIVER OUT Fig.2 zCharacteristics Symbol Typical Unit Effective printing width − 108.0 mm Dot pitch − 0.125 mm Parameter − 864 dots Rave 800 Ω Applied voltage VH 24.0 V Applied power PO 0.49 W/dot Print cycle SLT 1.25 ms Pulse width TON 0.38 ms Maximum number of dots energized simultaneously − 432 dots Maximum clock frequency − 8 MHz Maximum roller diameter − φ14.0 Running life / pulse life − 50/5×10 km/pulses Operating temperature − 5~45 °C Total dot number Average resistance value mm 7 3/4 KD2004-CF10A Printheads zElectrical characteristic curves 0.8 0.8 1.8 Paper : KF50-HDA (OJI) 0.7 1.4 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.6 ENERGY (mJ/dot) OPTICAL DENSITY 0.6 ENERGY (mJ/dot) SLT : 1.25ms/line 1.6 0.7 1.2 1.0 0.8 0.6 1 2 3 4 5 SCANNING LINE TIME (ms/line) 0.0 0.00 0.05 0.10 0.15 0.20 0.25 0.30 ENERGY (mJ/dot) Fig.3 Adaptive speed chart 0.3 0.1 0.2 0 0 0.4 0.2 0.4 0.1 0.5 Fig.4 Representative density curve 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 SCANNING LINE TIME (ms/line) Fig.5 Maximum energy curve 180 160 RESISTANCE : (kΩ) 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 −20 −10 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 TEMPERATURE : (°C) Fig.6 Thermistor curve 4/4 Appendix Notes No technical content pages of this document may be reproduced in any form or transmitted by any means without prior permission of ROHM CO.,LTD.
