Product Overview
ICX274AQ is Sony’s 1/1.8‑inch 2.01MP interline‑transfer progressive‑scan color CCD image sensor with HAD‑CCD technology. Featuring 4.4μm square pixels, it delivers high sensitivity and low dark‑current for industrial vision, microscopy and scientific imaging. This device is manufacturer EOL discontinued, only stock inventory available.
Core Advantages
HAD‑CCD Noise Suppression
HAD‑CCD architecture reduces dark‑current noise, achieving high SNR for low‑light scenarios.
Progressive‑Scan Square‑Pixel Design
Full‑frame progressive readout avoids motion artifacts, ideal for optical measurement and machine vision.
High Sensitivity with Low Smear
Optimized optical structure improves sensitivity while suppressing blooming and smear under strong light.
Ceramic DIP Industrial Package
Through‑hole ceramic DIP package supports socket or soldering mounting, stable for long‑term industrial operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What type of image sensor is the Sony ICX274AQ?
A1: It is a 1/1.8‑inch 2.01MP color progressive‑scan interline‑transfer CCD with HAD‑CCD technology. Sony has discontinued this model, only stock parts available.
Q2: What are pixel size and resolution for ICX274AQ?
A2: 4.4μm × 4.4μm square pixel; active resolution 1620(H) × 1220(V), total 2.01 megapixels.
Q3: Why use progressive‑scan CCD for machine vision?
A3: Progressive‑scan outputs full‑frame image directly, eliminates motion tearing, suitable for high‑speed inspection and measurement.
Q4: What is the difference between ICX274AQ and ICX274AQF?
A4: Optical parameters are identical. ICX274AQ is ceramic DIP through‑hole package without built‑in IR‑cut filter. ICX274AQF is 20‑pin SOP plastic package with internal IR‑cut filter. Two parts are not pin‑compatible and cannot swap directly.
Q5: Is there direct drop‑in replacement for ICX274AQ?
A5: No pin‑to‑pin drop‑in replacement. Alternative CCD or CMOS sensors require PCB modification, firmware adjustment and optical re‑matching.
Q6: Can ICX274AQ be used for new mass‑production projects?
A6: Not recommended for new mass production. This is EOL stock‑only part. Suitable only for legacy‑equipment maintenance replacement, evaluate modern CMOS for new projects.
Q7: Does ICX274AQ include built‑in IR‑cut filter?
A7: No built‑in IR‑cut filter. External filter is required for normal color imaging; it also supports infrared imaging without filter.
Q8: How to get datasheet and bulk price?
A8: Submit inquiry form for datasheet, pinout, sample and volume quotation.
