CCL127055MPF Low distortion 5.5mm 1/2.7″ 55° M12 mount lens HD 2MP for PC web camera

5.5mm 2MP M12 850nm Low Distortion Lens

This 5.5mm M12 lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require low distortion, 850nm wavelength filtering, and stable 2MP image performance. With a 1/2.7″ image format, 68° diagonal FOV, 55° horizontal FOV, and 48° vertical FOV, it provides a balanced viewing angle for controlled-area imaging without the extreme perspective of ultra-wide optics. The lens features a fixed F2.8 aperture and manual focus configuration, while its 1% distortion helps maintain consistent image geometry for applications where accurate visual representation is important.

Its 4P optical construction incorporates an 850±10nm pass filter, making it suitable for camera systems specifically designed for 850nm wavelength imaging. With an M12×0.5 mount, 10.62mm TTL, and 0.8mm B.F.L., the compact optical configuration supports integration into embedded camera modules. Designed for 850nm imaging, compact machine vision, smart monitoring, and wavelength-specific embedded camera applications, this fixed focal M12 lens provides a practical combination of optical control, compact integration, and dedicated wavelength filtering.

Low Distortion Lens Applications & Compatible Devices

850nm Wavelength Imaging

The defining feature of this lens is its 850±10nm pass filter, which is designed to transmit a narrow wavelength range centered around 850nm. This makes the lens suitable for imaging systems that use 850nm illumination or require wavelength-specific optical filtering.

Potential applications include:

• 850nm camera modules
• Near-infrared imaging systems
• Structured-light imaging
• Active illumination cameras
• Optical sensing devices
• Wavelength-specific inspection systems

Because an 850nm pass filter is not the same as an IR-corrected optical design, system designers should evaluate wavelength performance according to the complete camera and illumination configuration. TOWIN’s Optical Design resources provide additional information for optical system development.

Low-Distortion Machine Vision

With specified 1% distortion, this M12 lens can be considered for compact vision systems where geometric consistency is important. The 55° horizontal FOV provides a controlled viewing area that can be useful for inspection and monitoring tasks without the strong perspective associated with ultra-wide lenses.

Potential compatible devices include:

• Compact machine vision cameras
• Embedded inspection cameras
• Smart vision modules
• Industrial monitoring cameras
• Robotic vision modules
• Automated inspection equipment

For systems where distortion is an important selection factor, TOWIN’s Distortion Guide can help explain how lens distortion influences image geometry.

Compact Embedded Cameras

The M12×0.5 mount, 10.62mm TTL, and 0.8mm B.F.L. provide a compact optical configuration for embedded camera assemblies. The 5.5mm focal length offers a moderate field of view, making it suitable for devices that need controlled image coverage rather than panoramic imaging.

It can be integrated into:

• Embedded vision cameras
• IoT camera modules
• Compact monitoring devices
• Robotics camera modules
• Smart sensing equipment
• Space-constrained imaging systems

Engineers can refer to TOWIN’s M12 Lens portfolio when comparing this lens with other M12 optical configurations.

Controlled-Area Monitoring

The 68° diagonal FOV and 55° horizontal FOV create a relatively controlled viewing perspective. This configuration can be useful for monitoring defined areas, equipment zones, machine interiors, or other scenes where excessive wide-angle distortion is undesirable.

The 1% distortion specification can also help maintain more consistent object shapes across the image compared with higher-distortion wide-angle configurations.

Why Choose This 5.5mm 850nm M12 Low Distortion Lens?

This lens combines four important characteristics in a compact optical package: 5.5mm fixed focal length, 1% distortion, 850±10nm pass filtering, and M12 mounting. It is particularly suitable for engineers developing compact imaging systems that operate with 850nm illumination and need controlled image geometry.

Compared with a conventional M12 camera lens, the integrated 850nm pass filter gives this model a more specialized role in wavelength-specific imaging systems. Meanwhile, the 55° horizontal FOV provides a balanced viewing angle for controlled-area applications.
