1.0mm M12 IP69K Automotive Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 1.0mm M12 automotive fisheye lens is designed for vehicle camera systems where maximum scene coverage is more important than conventional rectilinear image geometry. Its extremely wide 210° diagonal field of view and 195° horizontal FOV allow a single compact camera module to capture a very broad area around the vehicle.

A key application is automotive surround-view imaging. Cameras mounted around the front, rear, or sides of a vehicle can use ultra-wide-angle optics to capture areas close to the vehicle body, helping provide the wide visual coverage required for parking assistance, maneuvering, and environmental awareness.

The 0.1m minimum object distance is also valuable for close-range automotive imaging. It allows the optical system to be positioned where nearby obstacles, curbs, vehicle edges, and other objects need to remain within the camera’s coverage area.

The environmental specifications make this lens particularly suitable for exterior vehicle camera modules. Its IP69K protection is designed for applications exposed to water, dust, road contamination, and high-pressure cleaning, while the -40°C to +80°C operating temperature range supports use across demanding outdoor temperature conditions.

The compact M12 × 0.5 interface and 13.83mm total track length further support integration into small automotive camera housings. For broader automotive perception systems, this lens can be considered alongside TOWIN’s ADAS solutions, particularly when ultra-wide close-range scene coverage is required.

Compatible Device List

• Automotive Surround-View Cameras: Suitable for front, rear, side, and other vehicle-mounted camera modules requiring extremely wide scene coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this a fisheye lens?
A: Yes. The 1.0mm focal length and extremely wide 210° diagonal FOV identify this as an automotive fisheye lens designed for very broad scene coverage.

Q: What is the field of view of this automotive fisheye lens?
A: The specified FOV is 210° diagonal, 195° horizontal, and 147° vertical.

Q: Why does this lens have very high negative distortion?
A: The distortion specification of less than -125% is associated with its extreme fisheye optical design. This type of projection intentionally provides exceptionally wide scene coverage and is different from a low-distortion rectilinear lens.

Q: Is this lens suitable for automotive surround-view cameras?
A: Yes. Its extremely wide FOV, compact M12 mount, close 0.1m M.O.D., and rugged environmental specifications make it suitable for selected automotive surround-view and close-range vehicle imaging systems.

Q: What does IP69K protection mean for this lens?
A: IP69K indicates a high level of protection against dust and powerful high-temperature water jets. This makes the lens suitable for demanding exterior vehicle environments and applications involving intensive cleaning.

Q: What temperature range can this lens operate in?
A: The specified operating temperature range is -40°C to +80°C, supporting use in demanding automotive and outdoor environments.

Q: What sensor or image format does this lens support?
A: The lens is specified with a maximum image format of φ4.1mm and MP-level resolution. Final sensor compatibility should be verified against the sensor’s active image area and optical requirements.

Q: Does this lens use a fixed or variable focal length?
A: It uses a fixed 1.0mm focal length and a fixed iris. The fixed optical configuration is suitable for dedicated automotive camera modules with predefined viewing requirements.
