2.3mm M12 Wide Angle Automotive Lens

This 2.3mm M12 wide angle automotive lens is designed for vehicle imaging systems that require an exceptionally broad field of view in a compact optical package. With up to 175° diagonal FOV, IP69 waterproof protection, and compatibility with 1/2.8″ sensors such as IMX290 and AR0130, it is well suited for exterior vehicle cameras, surround-view imaging, parking assistance, and other demanding automotive vision applications.

M12 IP69 Automotive Lens Core Highlights

• Ultra-wide 2.3mm focal length provides up to 175° diagonal FOV with the IMX290 sensor.
• 3MP optical performance supports detailed vehicle imaging and wide-area scene coverage.
• M12 x 0.5 mount provides a compact and practical interface for embedded automotive camera modules.
• IP69 waterproof protection supports use in demanding exterior vehicle environments exposed to water, dust, and cleaning conditions.
• 6G optical construction with IR Cut helps provide stable image capture for visible-light automotive camera systems.

2.3mm M12 IP69 Automotive Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

The combination of a 2.3mm focal length and very wide FOV makes this lens suitable for applications where the camera needs to capture a large area from a relatively compact mounting position. The 175° diagonal FOV available with the IMX290 sensor can help increase scene coverage around the vehicle while reducing blind areas.

Automotive exterior cameras
The IP69-rated housing makes this M12 lens suitable for exterior-mounted automotive cameras where the optical module may be exposed to rain, road splash, dust, and high-pressure cleaning. It can be integrated into vehicle front, rear, side, or other wide-area monitoring positions.

Parking and maneuvering cameras
The wide field of view allows a compact camera module to monitor a broad area around the vehicle. This makes the lens suitable for parking assistance, reversing cameras, low-speed maneuvering systems, and vehicle perimeter observation.

Surround-view and wide-area imaging
When paired with compatible 1/2.8″ image sensors such as the IMX290, the lens provides a broad imaging angle for applications requiring extensive scene coverage. Multiple camera modules can be combined to create wider vehicle-area coverage.

Commercial vehicle and specialty vehicle cameras
The IP69 protection and compact M12 interface make the lens suitable for cameras used on trucks, buses, construction equipment, agricultural vehicles, and other outdoor vehicles where environmental protection is important.

Embedded automotive vision modules
The M12 x 0.5 mount and compact 2.3mm optical configuration allow integration into customized vehicle camera housings and embedded vision modules.

Compatible Devices

• Automotive surround-view camera modules
• Vehicle parking and reversing cameras
• Front and rear wide-angle cameras
• Side-view and perimeter monitoring cameras

Designed for automotive wide-angle imaging applications where broad scene coverage, compact M12 mounting, and IP69 environmental protection are required.

Optical Selection Considerations

When selecting a wide-angle automotive lens, sensor compatibility and field of view should be evaluated together. This lens provides different FOV performance with the IMX290 and AR0130 sensors, so the final camera configuration should be selected according to the actual image sensor and required coverage.

For more information about sensor and lens compatibility, see the Sensor Guide and Lens Selection Guide.

You can also use the FOV Calculator to evaluate field-of-view requirements when designing a vehicle camera system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What sensor size is compatible with this 2.3mm M12 lens?
A: This lens is designed for 1/2.8″ image sensors and provides specified FOV performance with Sony IMX290 and AR0130 sensors.

Q: What is the maximum field of view of this lens?
A: With the IMX290 sensor, the lens provides 175° diagonal, 145° horizontal, and 80° vertical FOV. With the AR0130, it provides 160° diagonal, 118° horizontal, and 75° vertical FOV.

Q: Is this lens suitable for automotive applications?
A: Yes. Its IP69 waterproof protection, compact M12 x 0.5 mount, wide FOV, and 3MP resolution make it suitable for various exterior automotive camera applications.

Q: What does the IP69 rating provide for an automotive camera lens?
A: IP69 protection is designed for demanding environments involving dust and high-pressure or high-temperature water exposure, making it suitable for many exterior vehicle camera applications.

Q: Is this lens a fisheye lens?
A: This model is classified as a wide-angle M12 automotive lens rather than a dedicated fisheye lens. Its specified TV distortion is below 30%, and the optical classification should be based on the complete optical design rather than FOV alone.

Q: What type of mount does this lens use?
A: The lens uses an M12 x 0.5 mount, which is widely used for compact embedded camera modules.

Q: Does this lens have IR correction?
A: The construction includes an IR Cut element. This should not be interpreted as the same as an IR-corrected optical design.

Q: Can TOWIN customize this lens for a specific automotive camera?
A: Yes. For sensor, FOV, mechanical, environmental, or optical customization requirements, contact TOWIN through the Contact page to discuss the required configuration.
