2.3mm IP69 M12 Automotive Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

The 2.3mm focal length and 154° diagonal field of view make this lens suitable for vehicle camera applications where capturing a large surrounding area is more important than maintaining low geometric distortion. Its strong fisheye characteristics allow a compact camera module to cover a broad scene from a short installation distance.

Automotive surround-view cameras
The wide FOV helps capture a large area around the vehicle and can be used as part of multi-camera surround-view architectures. Multiple camera modules can be positioned around the vehicle to provide broader environmental coverage.

Parking and reversing cameras
The 125° horizontal and 100° vertical FOV provide extensive coverage for low-speed maneuvering and parking environments. The 0.1m minimum object distance also supports applications where nearby objects need to remain within the camera’s usable imaging range.

Vehicle perimeter monitoring
The combination of wide-angle coverage and IP69 environmental protection makes this lens suitable for side, rear, front, or other exterior-mounted vehicle monitoring cameras where broad scene visibility is required.

Commercial vehicle imaging
The compact M12 form factor and IP69 protection can support camera modules installed on trucks, buses, construction vehicles, agricultural machinery, and other outdoor equipment.

Wide-area embedded automotive cameras
The 15.24mm total track length and M12 x 0.5 interface make the lens suitable for compact camera assemblies where installation space is limited while a very wide viewing angle is required.

Compatible Devices

• Automotive surround-view camera modules
• Parking assistance cameras
• Reversing camera systems
• Vehicle perimeter monitoring cameras
• Front and rear wide-angle cameras
• Commercial vehicle cameras
• Truck and bus exterior cameras
• Construction vehicle camera systems
• Agricultural machinery cameras
• Embedded automotive vision modules

Designed for automotive fisheye and wide-area imaging applications requiring broad scene coverage, compact M12 integration, and IP69 environmental protection.

Optical Selection Considerations

Because this lens uses a strong wide angle optical design with distortion below -39%, it is intended for applications where very wide scene coverage is a priority. System designers should evaluate whether the resulting image geometry is appropriate for the downstream image-processing algorithm and camera application.

The specified FOV is based on the Sony IMX273 1/2.9″ sensor, so sensor selection should be considered together with the lens when designing the complete camera system.

For additional information about sensor compatibility, refer to the Sensor Guide and Lens Selection Guide.

For applications requiring a specific field of view, the FOV Calculator can help evaluate lens and sensor combinations.

Because distortion is a major characteristic of this optical design, the Distortion Guide is also useful when evaluating fisheye and wide-angle lens performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What sensor is this 2.3mm M12 lens designed for?
A: This model is specified for the 1/2.9″ Sony IMX273 sensor and provides a 154° diagonal, 125° horizontal, and 100° vertical field of view.

Q: Is this lens suitable for automotive applications?
A: Yes. Its IP69 waterproof protection, compact M12 x 0.5 mount, ultra-wide FOV, and wide angle optical design make it suitable for various exterior automotive camera applications.

Q: Why is this lens classified as a wide angle lens?
A: The combination of its 2.3mm focal length, 154° diagonal FOV, and distortion below -39% indicates a strong fisheye-type wide-angle optical design intended for very broad scene coverage.

Q: Is this a low-distortion lens?
A: No. With distortion below -39%, this model is designed for extremely wide coverage rather than low geometric distortion.

Q: What does the IP69 rating mean for this automotive lens?
A: IP69 protection is intended for demanding outdoor environments involving dust and high-pressure or high-temperature water exposure, making it suitable for many exterior vehicle camera installations.

Q: What is the minimum object distance of this lens?
A: The specified M.O.D. is 0.1m, allowing the lens to image objects at relatively short distances.

Q: Does IRCF mean the lens is IR corrected?
A: No. IRCF refers to an IR Cut Filter. It should not be interpreted as an IR-corrected optical design.

Q: Can TOWIN customize this lens for a specific vehicle camera?
A: Yes. If you require a different FOV, sensor configuration, mechanical dimension, waterproof structure, or optical performance, contact TOWIN through the Contact page for customization requirements.
