> ⚠ A cable to connect to this module is not included. You can make your own using a [JST wire assembly](https://core-electronics.com.au/jst-sh-jumper-4-wire-assembly-8.html) and [DIY USB connector](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-diy-connector-shell-type-a-male-plug.html). **Note:** The [pinout for the through-hole and JST connectors are reversed](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/uploads/flir-lepton-pinout.jpg).

## Pricing

- **Price:** $674.95 (inc GST) — $613.59 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 5+ $595.18 (exc GST) · 25+ $582.91 (exc GST) · 100+ $558.36 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 1 today, and up to 44 more in 5–11 days.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=DEV-17544:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/DEV-17544:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The new PureThermal Mini Pro JST-SR with Thermal by FLIR is a hackable thermal camera for the FLIR Lepton thermal imaging camera core. Just like its PureThermal 2 predecessor, it ships pre-configured to operate as a plug-and-play UVC 1.0 USB thermal webcam that will work with standard webcam and video apps on all major platforms using a JST-SR to USB Cable, or your own custom cable (no cable included). For developers, its reference firmware and viewer software are open source.

It has multiple connection options such as solder straight to the board or a custom cable using the JST-SR port.[ Note the pinout is reversed for each connection type](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/uploads/flir-lepton-pinout.jpg). The PTMini Pro also features four mounting holes, less complex circuitry, and perhaps best of all, USB DFU. This is a development kit ready to be embedded into a production system.

Each board comes with a FLIR Lepton 3.5.

The FLIR Lepton® is a radiometric-capable LWIR camera solution that is smaller than a dime, fits inside a smartphone, and is one tenth the cost of traditional IR cameras. Using focal plane arrays of either 160x120 or 80x60 active pixels, Lepton easily integrates into native mobile-devices and other electronics as an IR sensor or thermal imager. The radiometric Lepton captures accurate, calibrated, and noncontact temperature data in every pixel of each image.
