4.1mm IP69K Automotive Lens Applications

Automotive Wide-Area Imaging

The combination of 4.1mm focal length, 153° diagonal FOV, 12MP resolution, F1.6 aperture, and IP69K protection makes this lens suitable for automotive imaging systems requiring extremely broad scene coverage.

Potential applications include:

• Surround-view camera systems
• Vehicle exterior monitoring
• Parking and maneuvering cameras
• Side-view and rear-view imaging
• Blind-spot monitoring
• Wide-angle perception cameras
• Automotive environmental sensing

The very wide FOV allows a single camera module to observe a large area around the vehicle, while the 12MP optical specification supports detailed image capture.

For automotive perception applications, see the ADAS Vision solution.

Harsh-Environment Vehicle Imaging

The IP69K rating makes this lens particularly suitable for camera systems exposed to water, dust, vibration, and demanding cleaning conditions.

Potential applications include:

• Commercial vehicle cameras
• Heavy-duty vehicle vision
• Agricultural machinery cameras
• Construction equipment cameras
• Industrial vehicle monitoring
• Outdoor mobile equipment

The environmental protection allows the optical module to be integrated into camera systems where exposure to harsh external conditions is expected.

Designed for automotive and harsh-environment imaging applications requiring ultra-wide coverage, high-resolution capture, and IP69K environmental protection.

High-Resolution Wide Angle Imaging

The 153° diagonal FOV and < -59% distortion provide a strongly wide-angle imaging characteristic suitable for Wide Angle style applications.

This optical configuration can be used when the primary objective is maximizing the visible scene rather than maintaining rectilinear image geometry.

Potential applications include:

• Wide-area perception
• Panoramic-style camera systems
• Robotics vision
• Mobile platforms
• Outdoor monitoring
• Smart infrastructure imaging

For robotics applications requiring broad environmental awareness, the Robotics Vision solution provides additional optical application information.

12MP Embedded Camera Systems

The lens is specified with the IMX676 sensor and 12MP resolution, making it suitable for high-resolution camera modules where both image detail and very wide coverage are required.

Potential compatible systems include:

• IMX676 camera modules
• 12MP embedded cameras
• High-resolution automotive cameras
• Industrial vision modules
• Robotics cameras
• Outdoor monitoring systems

When selecting the optical system for a specific sensor, the Sensor Guide can help evaluate sensor size, image circle, and optical compatibility.

Optical Design Considerations

This lens uses a 7G + IRCF optical structure and a fast F1.6 aperture. The multi-element optical construction is designed to support the very wide field of view while maintaining high-resolution imaging capability.

With < -59% distortion, the lens intentionally produces significant geometric distortion to achieve its extremely broad viewing angle. This characteristic should be considered during camera calibration and image-processing development.

For applications that require straight-line preservation and lower geometric distortion, a different optical configuration should be selected. TOWIN’s Distortion Guide explains how different distortion characteristics affect machine vision and camera imaging.

The included IRCF is an IR Cut Filter. It should not be interpreted as an IR-corrected optical design.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What type of lens is this 4.1mm lens?
A: It is a fixed-focal, ultra-wide lens designed for high-resolution imaging systems, with a 153° diagonal field of view.

Q2: What is the field of view of this lens?
A: With the IMX676 sensor, the specified FOV is 153° diagonal, 105° horizontal, and 105° vertical.

Q3: Is this lens suitable for 12MP cameras?
A: Yes. The lens is specified for 12 Megapixel imaging and is tested with the IMX676 sensor configuration.

Q4: Why is this lens classified as a Wide Angle lens?
A: The combination of a 153° diagonal FOV and less than -59% distortion indicates an extremely wide and strongly distorted optical design characteristic of Wide Angle imaging.

Q5: Is this lens suitable for automotive applications?
A: Yes. Its IP69K protection, ultra-wide FOV, F1.6 aperture, and high-resolution capability make it suitable for various automotive camera and perception applications.

Q6: What does IP69K protection mean?
A: IP69K represents a high level of protection against dust and powerful high-temperature water jets, making the lens suitable for demanding vehicle, industrial, and outdoor environments.

Q7: Does IRCF mean the lens is IR corrected?
A: No. IRCF means an IR Cut Filter is included. An IR-corrected lens uses a different optical design intended to compensate for wavelength-dependent focus shifts.

Q8: What mount does this lens use?
A: The lens uses an M14X0.5 mount. This is different from the M12x0.5 interface commonly used on compact M12 lens modules.
