Zebra DS3608-DP, 2D, DPM, RS232, USB, Black/Grey

SKU: 

DS3608-DPA0002VZWW

The Zebra DS3608-DPA0002VZWW connects via cable through a multi-interface host connection, delivering corded 2D imager scanning purpose-built for direct part mark (DPM) capture on manufacturing plant floors. Its advanced illumination system — including a built-in diffuser for reflective and shiny surfaces and a glancing direct light mode for low-contrast marks — reads dot peen, laser etch, ink mark, chemical etch, inkjet mold, cast and thermal spray DPM codes regardless of size, surface or contrast, alongside 1D and 2D printed barcodes including damaged or poorly printed stock. Rated IP67, the DS3608-DPA0002VZWW withstands an 8 ft. drop to concrete and survives 5,000 tumbles. Symbology coverage spans Code 39, Code 128, Code 93, UPC/EAN, GS1 DataBar, PDF417, DataMatrix, QR Code, Aztec and OCR-A/B, among others. The Industrial Green handheld chassis weighs 10.72 oz and measures 7.3 in tall by 3 in wide by 5.2 in deep, fitting production line and warehouse track-and-trace workflows. Remote configuration and firmware updates are supported through 123Scan and Scanner Management Service.

Description
ico-plus ico-minus
The Zebra DS3608-SR is a corded, ultra-rugged area-imager barcode scanner built for industrial and commercial environments where durability and consistent read performance are non-negotiable. Designed for warehouse, manufacturing, and delivery operations, it captures both 1D and 2D barcodes — including direct part marks — from near contact up to 60" away, even on damaged, dirty, or poorly printed labels. Its IP65- and IP67-rated housing is dustproof, sprayproof, and waterproof, and it withstands multiple 8.0 ft./2.4 m drops to concrete. The scanner connects via USB, serial, Ethernet, or Bluetooth interfaces, integrating cleanly into existing host systems. Operating across -22°F (-30°C) to 122°F (50°C), it performs reliably in extreme environments, including cold storage. A 36-month limited warranty underscores its long-term value for demanding workflows.
