U.are.U 5100 Fingerprint Module

Low-Power Fingerprint Sensor, Ideal for Mobile Devices

The touch-style U.are.U 5100 Fingerprint Module is a PIV-certified, optical fingerprint sensor specifically tailored to fit the unique form-factor, power, usability and durability requirements of mobile devices. It makes high-efficiency, standards-compliant biometrics practical for handheld ID terminals and other devices used in Civil ID applications such as voting, benefits-checking and micro-finance.


Low Power Gives applications fine-grained control over the operations of the biometric sensor and user-feedback lights, extending the battery life of mobile devices.

Compact Size One of the most compact standards-compliant optical fingerprint sensors on the market, measuring only 52mm (L) x 31.4mm (W) x 15.8mm (H).

Landing Lights & Status LEDs Ergonomic blue “landing lights” help guide the user for simple, accurate fingerprint scans; applications can also use red and green status lights built into the sensor itself to provide immediate feedback without the need for a separate display screen.

PIV Standards Certified to meet and exceed the FIPS 201 Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Image Quality Specification. The U.are.U 5100 produces 500dpi and 1000dpi fingerprint images in ANSI and ISO/IEC standard formats.

High Durability Built for use in demanding environments, the optical-technology U.are.U 5100 has a hard glass, IP64-rated imaging surface that is sealed against dust and liquids.

High-Volume Manufacturing Whether you need just a few fingerprint readers or many tens of thousands per month, DigitalPersona’s reliable, world-class manufacturing delivers.

Easy to Program U.are.U fingerprint readers can be used from any direction, providing high-quality images and matching performance that’s perfect for shared environments.
