BS880A
BS880A is the volume-program variant of the BS fingerprint sensor family — the same 500+ DPI family class in the build-out that lock OEMs quote for quarterly orders. It keeps the MOQ honest at 1 pc, so a single pre-production lock gets the production part it will ship with.

Procurement loves the boring part.
Lock OEMs ship into a market where 45 M smart-lock units went out in 2025 — with China at about 55% of output — and a line that quotes on a quarterly calendar cannot babysit a specialty part. BS880A is the sibling the family sends to the quoting party:
- One family, one firmware branch — swap in BS880A where BS817 is out of allocation and the SDK port stays identical (family class).
- Tape/reel packaging drops straight into the existing SMT line — no new fixture at the pick-and-place station.
- 10–25 day lead time for orders under 5,000 units keeps quarterly replenishment inside the procurement window.
The same part, at the warehouse door.
Warehouse operators that buy the OEM's lock line inherit the sensor inside it — so a facility door and a stockroom gate share captures, templates and one service path. That is the design argument for a family-budgeted part:
- 1:1 template export between doors means moves and staffing changes never re-enroll a card file (SDK, family class).
- The free SDK includes the demo routine; 48h FAE response covers firmware questions at the integrator level.
- 2-year warranty, and unit-level test pass honored from the 1-pc pilot through the third replenishment.
BS880A FAQs
Yes — 1 pc is the MOQ, so your first prototype uses the same die-lot family of part the volume order will ship.
Yes — the family algorithm and SDK are free; demo routines cover the lock-program flow end to end.
Production capacity runs 10–25 days for orders under 5,000 units, with tiered pricing returned by the FAE team within 48h.
