Low Distortion Lens – CCL14040MPFR

CCL14040MPFR Low distortion wide angle 4mm 50° M12 mount lens 1/4″ with HD 5MP rectilinear scanning

4mm 5MP M12 Low Distortion Lens for Compact Imaging Systems

• This 4mm 5MP M12 lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require high-resolution image capture, controlled distortion, and a practical field of view. With a 1/4″ image format, 60° diagonal FOV, and compact Φ14 × 18.7mm dimensions, it provides an efficient optical solution for space-constrained camera designs.
• The fixed 4.0mm focal length and M12×0.5 mount make this M12 lens easy to integrate into compact camera modules, while distortion below -0.4% helps maintain accurate image geometry for inspection, monitoring, recognition, and other imaging applications. The 2G2P optical construction with an IR cut filter further supports consistent visible-light imaging.

• M12 × 0.5 mount with IR cut filter for convenient visible-light imaging integration.

Low Distortion Lens Applications

• Compact machine vision and inspection cameras: The 5MP resolution and low-distortion optical performance make this lens suitable for compact inspection systems where image details and controlled geometry are important. It can be used for component presence checks, dimensional observation, surface inspection, and basic visual recognition where the 4mm focal length provides an appropriate working perspective.
• Embedded industrial cameras: With a total track length of only 21.98mm and a Φ14 × 18.7mm mechanical size, this M12 lens is well suited to embedded camera designs where installation space is limited. It can be integrated into compact monitoring or inspection equipment without requiring the larger optical assemblies typically associated with C-Mount systems.
• Compact smart monitoring devices: The 60° diagonal FOV provides a balanced viewing area for close-range monitoring without the extreme perspective associated with fisheye optics. The fixed F2.8 aperture and IR cut configuration make it suitable for visible-light camera modules used in indoor monitoring and equipment observation.
• Object recognition and automation cameras: The controlled distortion of less than -0.4% can help preserve the shape and relative position of objects within the image. This makes the lens suitable for compact recognition cameras used in automated equipment, access systems, small inspection stations, and other embedded vision applications.
• Designed for compact industrial imaging applications, this lens is particularly useful when camera designers need to balance 5MP resolution, moderate field of view, low distortion, and a small M12 optical footprint.

Compatible devices: This lens is suitable for compact camera modules using a 1/4″ CMOS sensor and an M12×0.5 lens interface, including embedded inspection cameras, compact industrial cameras, smart monitoring modules, automation cameras, and small-format vision devices.
