Wide Angle Lens – CCL16016MPF

CCL16016MPF is 1.6mm Ultra wide angle lens with Built-In Filter, fixed iris F2.5 S-Mount Lens with M12 Thread, 1/6″ Megapixel CCTV lens.

1.6mm M12 160° Ultra Wide Angle Lens

This 1.6mm M12 ultra wide angle lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require an exceptionally broad field of view in a small optical package. With a 160° diagonal FOV, megapixel resolution, F2.5 fixed aperture, and 18mm total track length, it provides wide-area image coverage for embedded cameras, panoramic imaging, robotics, and other space-constrained vision applications.

M12 Ultra Wide Angle Lens Core Product Highlights

• 160° Ultra-Wide Field of View: Provides 160° diagonal, 120° horizontal, and 90° vertical coverage for wide-area imaging in compact systems.
• 1.6mm Ultra-Short Focal Length: Delivers broad scene coverage where conventional focal lengths cannot provide sufficient viewing range.
• M12x0.5 Compact Mount: Suitable for small camera modules and embedded imaging equipment requiring a standardized M12 lens interface.
• Megapixel Resolution: Supports detailed image capture for compact vision and monitoring systems.
• 4E+IR Optical Construction: The 4E+IR construction combines four optical elements with an IR-related optical element for compact wide-angle imaging applications.

M12 Ultra Wide Angle Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

The combination of a 1.6mm focal length and 160° diagonal FOV makes this lens particularly useful when the camera needs to capture a large scene from a short installation distance. Its 18mm total track length also supports integration into compact imaging equipment where available optical space is limited.

Designed for compact wide-area imaging applications, this M12 lens can be integrated into embedded camera modules, panoramic monitoring equipment, compact robotic systems, and other devices that require broad visual coverage from a small optical assembly.

For systems where the required viewing area must be calculated before selecting a lens, the FOV Calculator can help estimate the relationship between focal length, sensor size, and field of view. For a broader understanding of sensor compatibility, refer to the Sensor Guide.

Compatible Device List

• Embedded Camera Modules: The M12x0.5 mount and 18mm TTL make the lens suitable for compact camera designs where installation space is restricted.
• Panoramic Imaging Equipment: The 160° diagonal FOV enables broad scene capture for applications that need to monitor a large area with a single compact camera.
• Robotic Vision Systems: The ultra-wide viewing angle can help compact robots capture surrounding environmental information at close range.
• Smart Monitoring Devices: The wide-angle optical design is suitable for compact monitoring equipment requiring broad coverage rather than long-distance magnification.
• Embedded Vision Equipment: The fixed-focus configuration simplifies optical integration into dedicated imaging devices with stable installation conditions.

When choosing an M12 lens for an embedded vision system, the sensor format, focal length, field of view, mounting interface, and available optical space should be evaluated together. TOWIN provides a range of M12 Lenses for different compact imaging requirements.

For applications requiring extremely wide coverage, the 160° FOV of this lens provides a significantly broader viewing angle than conventional narrow-angle lenses. However, wide-angle imaging generally involves greater geometric distortion, so the Distortion Guide should be considered when image geometry and measurement accuracy are important.

For more advanced optical integration requirements, the Optical Design resources can help engineers evaluate optical parameters before finalizing the camera configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What type of lens is the 1.6mm M12 lens?

A: This 1.6 mm M12 fixed‑focal ultra‑wide‑angle lens offers 160° diagonal FOV. Its optical properties suit fisheye‑style wide‑area imaging.

Q2: What is the field of view of this 1.6mm lens?

A: The lens provides a 160° diagonal FOV, 120° horizontal FOV, and 90° vertical FOV on its specified 1/6″ image format.

Q3: What sensor size is this lens designed for?

A: The specified image format is 1/6″. The camera sensor should therefore be checked against this optical format before integration to ensure appropriate image coverage.

Q4: Is the 1.6mm M12 lens suitable for close-range imaging?

A: Yes. Boasting a 0.2 m minimum object distance and ultra‑wide 160° diagonal FOV, it fits applications capturing broad scenes at short working distances.

Q5: Is this lens a fixed-focus lens?

A: Yes. The lens uses a fixed iris and fixed focal length of 1.6mm, making it suitable for dedicated camera systems with a stable installation distance and predefined imaging requirements.

Q6: What mount does this lens use?

A: The lens uses an M12x0.5 mount, a common interface for compact camera modules and embedded vision systems.

Q7: What does the 4E+IR construction mean?

A: Optical construction: 4E+IR, a compact assembly with four optical elements plus one IR‑related element. Verify full optical specs for spectral performance when using IR‑sensitive imaging.

Q8: How can I determine whether this lens provides enough coverage for my camera?

A: Compare the required scene size, working distance, sensor format, and focal length. TOWIN’s Focal Length Calculator and FOV Calculator can be used as practical tools during lens selection.
