Recycle ST Sensor ICs, Mingjiada Recycle VL53 And VD Series 3D ToF Sensors

In fields such as 3D visual perception, intelligent distance measurement and human-machine interaction, STMicroelectronics’ (ST) 3D ToF sensors have become core components in consumer electronics, industrial automation, smart home and automotive applications, thanks to their high precision, low power consumption and wide range of application scenarios. Shenzhen Mingjiada Electronics Co., Ltd. — specialising in the recycling of high-end electronic components, with a deep focus on the recycling of the full range of ST 3D ToF sensors. We offer precise valuation, high-value buyback and rapid settlement, helping manufacturers clear inventory and reduce wastage.

[ST] 3D ToF Sensors
Based on patented FlightSense technology, these sensors are categorised into two main technical approaches: Direct Time-of-Flight (dToF) and Indirect Time-of-Flight (iToF). They are further subdivided according to application scenarios, ranging capabilities, and area detection capabilities, covering all requirements from short-range near-field to medium-range multi-area and long-range high-precision applications. These are also the core product categories prioritised for recycling by Mingjiada.

1. Single-area short-range ToF sensors (Basic Ranging Model)
Featuring ultra-low power consumption and miniaturised packaging, these are suitable for near-field detection, proximity sensing and simple ranging scenarios. With a typical ranging distance of 0–2 metres, they offer eye safety, fast response times and cost-effectiveness, making them standard components in consumer electronics and small smart devices.
Key advantages: Ultra-compact size, wide temperature range compatibility, I2C communication interface, and stable operation in harsh environments
Typical Applications: Proximity sensing in smartphones, touch control in smart earphones, accidental touch prevention in small household

appliances, close-range obstacle avoidance in drones

2. Multi-zone/Matrix ToF Sensor (Mid-range High-precision Model)
Features an 8×8 multi-zone ranging architecture, supporting expanded field of view and simultaneous multi-target detection. The ranging distance extends to 3–6 metres, balancing precision with scene coverage. It is the mainstream choice for 3D perception, gesture recognition and robot navigation.
Key Advantages: Independent multi-zone ranging, wide field of view, resistance to ambient light interference, and support for AI edge computing
Typical Applications: Gesture control for smart speakers, obstacle avoidance for service robots, industrial material inspection, and interaction with AR/VR devices

3. Long-Range LiDAR-Style ToF Sensor (Industrial/Automotive Model)
Integrating on-chip processing with a LiDAR architecture, these sensors offer a ranging distance of over 9 metres. Featuring industrial-grade wide temperature tolerance and high stability, they are suitable for harsh operating conditions and long-range sensing scenarios, positioning them as a high-end product category.
Key Advantages: Long-range measurement, high resolution, multi-zone point cloud output; compliant with industrial and automotive reliability standards
Typical Applications: Industrial AGV navigation, automotive blind spot detection, security surveillance, smart warehouse ranging

4. High-Resolution iToF Sensor (3D Imaging Model)
Based on iToF technology and equipped with a 0.5-megapixel imaging core, this sensor specialises in 3D depth imaging and object modelling. It is suitable for high-precision visual recognition, facial recognition and 3D scanning applications, and is classified as a high-end sensing component.
