M502415006022F is Low distortion 5-Megapixel 1/5″ M5.0x0.35 mount lens with Built-In IR Filter, 71° diagonal F.O.V., F2.2 aperture, for security Surveillance.

2.4mm M5 5MP Miniature Low Distortion Wide Angle Lens

This 2.4mm M5 miniature low distortion lens is designed for 1/5″ image sensors, delivering a 71° diagonal field of view with less than 1% TV distortion and 5MP resolution. Its compact 3.25mm total track length, 0.73mm back focal length, and M5.0×0.35 mount make it suitable for high-resolution embedded cameras, compact machine vision systems, and space-constrained industrial imaging applications.

M5 Low Distortion Lens Core Highlights

• 5MP resolution supports detailed imaging with compatible 1/5″ image sensors.
• <1% TV distortion provides controlled image geometry for inspection and vision applications.
• 71° diagonal FOV offers wide scene coverage from a compact 2.4mm focal length.
• 3.25mm T.T.L. and 0.73mm M.B.F.L. support highly compact camera architectures.
• ≥43% relative illumination helps maintain useful image brightness across the sensor area.

2.4mm M5 Low Distortion Lens Applications

High-Resolution Compact Machine Vision

The combination of 5MP resolution, 2.4mm focal length, and <1% TV distortion makes this lens suitable for compact machine vision systems that need both detailed image capture and controlled geometric performance.

Compared with a conventional low-resolution miniature lens, its 5MP capability makes it more suitable for applications where the imaging system needs to preserve fine visual details while operating within a small mechanical envelope.

Typical applications include:

• Compact machine vision cameras
• Automated visual inspection
• Electronics inspection
• Small-component imaging
• Embedded AI vision modules
• Robotic inspection cameras
• Industrial equipment monitoring

Designed for high-resolution compact machine vision applications requiring wide coverage and controlled image distortion.

Low Distortion Wide-Angle Imaging

This lens combines a 71° diagonal FOV with less than 1% TV distortion, providing a useful balance between wide scene coverage and image geometry.

The controlled distortion can be valuable in applications where the camera image is used for:

• Object positioning
• Visual inspection
• Edge detection
• Pattern recognition
• Component alignment
• Automated image analysis

It is therefore better suited to controlled wide-angle imaging than to extreme fisheye applications.

For a deeper understanding of distortion requirements, engineers can refer to TOWIN’s Distortion Guide.

The model can also be compared with other products in the Low Distortion Lens collection.

5MP Embedded Camera Modules

The M5.0×0.35 miniature mount, 3.25mm T.T.L., and 0.73mm M.B.F.L. allow the lens to be integrated into compact camera assemblies where conventional C-Mount or CS-Mount optics would be physically oversized.

Potential compatible devices include:

• Miniature industrial cameras
• Embedded inspection modules
• Compact AI cameras
• Robotic camera modules
• OEM imaging systems
• Smart equipment cameras
• Small-form-factor vision sensors

The lens is designed for a 1/5″ image format. When selecting a sensor, engineers should verify the active sensor area and optical compatibility. TOWIN’s Sensor Guide can support this selection process.

Compact Wide-Area Industrial Imaging

The 60° horizontal and 47° vertical FOV provide practical scene coverage for compact industrial cameras. The lens can capture a relatively broad area without relying on the stronger geometric distortion typically associated with fisheye optics.

Its fixed F2.2 aperture also provides a simple optical configuration for OEM camera designs where adjustable iris control is not required.

IR Cut Filter Configuration

The optical structure is specified as 3P + IRCF. Here, IRCF refers to an IR Cut Filter, making the configuration suitable for visible-light imaging systems that require infrared wavelength filtering.

This specification should not be interpreted as an IR-corrected optical design. For applications specifically requiring IR-corrected optics, TOWIN offers a separate IR Corrected Lens category.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What sensor size is this 2.4mm M5 lens designed for?
A: The lens is designed for 1/5″ image sensors and provides a 71° diagonal, 60° horizontal, and 47° vertical field of view.

Q: Is this lens suitable for 5MP imaging?
A: Yes. The lens is specified for 5MP resolution, making it suitable for compatible 1/5″ sensors used in compact high-resolution imaging systems.

Q: Is the 2.4mm lens a fisheye lens?
A: No. Its 71° diagonal FOV and <1% TV distortion indicate a controlled wide-angle optical design rather than an extreme fisheye configuration.

Q: What is the main benefit of less than 1% TV distortion?
A: The low distortion specification helps preserve more accurate image geometry, which can be beneficial for machine vision inspection, object positioning, alignment, and automated image analysis.

Q: What is the total track length of this miniature lens?
A: The specified T.T.L. is 3.25mm, allowing the lens to be integrated into compact camera housings and embedded imaging modules.

Q: What does the M.B.F.L. of 0.73mm indicate?
A: The 0.73mm M.B.F.L. indicates a very short back focal length, supporting compact sensor and mechanical arrangements in miniature camera designs.

Q: What does IRCF mean in the 3P+IRCF structure?
A: IRCF means IR Cut Filter. It is used to filter infrared wavelengths in visible-light imaging configurations. It does not mean that the lens itself is IR corrected.

Q: What is the relative illumination of this lens?
A: The specified relative illumination is ≥43%, helping maintain useful brightness across the image field.
