DS3608-SR00003VZWW

IP67 and IP65 dual sealing — dustproof, sprayproof and waterproof — defines the DS3608-SR00003VZWW, a corded handheld imager from Zebra's 3600 Series rated to survive multiple 8.0 ft./2.4 m drops to concrete. Its standard-range imager reads 1D and 2D barcodes out to a scanning distance of 59.06 in, covering Code 39, Code 128, UPC/EAN, GS1 DataBar, PDF417, DataMatrix, QR Code, Aztec, MaxiCode and DotCode among its supported symbologies, with a minimum element resolution of 7.5 mil and maximum of 10 mil for DataMatrix targets and a minimum print contrast of 15%. A 42-degree horizontal by 28-degree vertical field of view pairs with 60-degree skew and pitch tolerance and full 360-degree roll acceptance, while USB provides both host interface and power. The scanner weighs 10.80 oz and is finished in Industrial Green, sized at 7.3 in tall, 3 in wide and 5.2 in deep, targeting warehouse, manufacturing and industrial applications. The USB cable is sold separately.

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.
