Low Light Sensitive Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 7.9mm F1.4 M12 lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require higher image resolution without moving to a larger conventional C-Mount optical assembly. Its 5MP specification and maximum Φ7.3mm image circle make it suitable for camera modules where optical performance and mechanical compactness must be balanced.

The 7.9mm focal length provides a moderate field of view rather than an extreme wide-angle perspective. With the IMX900 configuration, the lens delivers 46° diagonal, 36° horizontal, and 26° vertical coverage. This makes it useful when the imaging system needs controlled scene framing and sufficient detail on the target rather than maximum scene coverage.

The F1.4 aperture is another key advantage for embedded imaging applications. Its larger aperture allows more light to reach the sensor, helping maintain image brightness when illumination is reduced. This can be valuable for indoor inspection points, compact monitoring equipment, smart devices, and other imaging systems operating under variable lighting conditions.

The 0.2m minimum object distance also gives system designers flexibility when the camera is installed relatively close to the target. Combined with the M12×0.5 mount, the lens can be integrated into compact OEM camera housings where installation space is limited.

Engineers evaluating this type of lens can use the Sensor Guide to review sensor-format considerations and the Lens Selection Guide to compare focal length, image circle, field of view, and other optical parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What sensor is the FOV specification based on?
A: The listed 46° diagonal, 36° horizontal, and 26° vertical FOV values are specified for the IMX900 configuration, with the corresponding dimensions of 5.81mm, 4.64mm, and 3.49mm.

Q: What resolution does this M12 lens support?
A: The lens is specified for 5 Megapixel imaging applications, making it suitable for compact camera systems requiring higher image detail.

Q: What is the advantage of the F1.4 aperture?
A: F1.4 provides strong light-gathering capability, which can help maintain brighter images when the camera operates under reduced illumination.

Q: Is this a fixed focal M12 lens?
A: Yes. It has a fixed 7.9mm focal length and fixed iris, making it suitable for imaging systems with a predefined field of view.

Q: What is the image circle of this lens?
A: The lens has a maximum image circle of Φ7.3mm. Actual sensor compatibility should be evaluated against the sensor’s active imaging area.

Q: What is the minimum object distance?
A: The minimum object distance is 0.2m, allowing the lens to image targets positioned relatively close to the camera.

Q: Is this lens a wide-angle or fisheye lens?
A: It is not classified as a fisheye lens. With a 46° diagonal FOV in the specified IMX900 configuration, it provides moderate scene coverage rather than extreme wide-angle or fisheye imaging.

Q: Can Towin customize this M12 lens for an OEM project?
A: Towin can evaluate application-specific requirements such as sensor compatibility, focal length, field of view, mechanical dimensions, and optical performance. Customers can submit project requirements through the Contact Towin page.
