6.5mm M12 Automotive Lens Applications

Wide-Angle Imaging for OX08B40

With an 81° diagonal FOV and 71° horizontal FOV on the 1/1.73″ OX08B40 sensor, this 6.5mm lens provides a practical balance between scene coverage and image detail. The optical configuration is suitable for applications where the camera needs to capture a relatively broad scene without using an extremely short focal length.

The 6.5mm M12 lens can be used in compact camera modules, embedded vision systems, industrial cameras, and vehicle-mounted imaging equipment.

For applications requiring wider or specialized optical coverage, TOWIN’s Wide Angle Lens range provides additional configurations.

8MP OX08B40 Sensor Compatibility

The lens is specifically matched to the 1/1.73″ OX08B40 8MP image sensor, making it suitable for high-resolution imaging systems where sensor coverage and optical resolution need to be considered together.

Its 6.5mm focal length provides:

• 81° diagonal FOV
• 71° horizontal FOV
• 40° vertical FOV
• 8MP sensor compatibility
• Max. Φ9.5mm image format

For engineers selecting a lens according to sensor dimensions, the TOWIN Sensor Guide can help explain the relationship between sensor size, image circle, and lens compatibility.

F1.6 Aperture for Low-Light Imaging

The F1.6 aperture provides a relatively large optical aperture for this compact M12 lens. This allows more light to reach the sensor compared with smaller-aperture designs, helping maintain usable image brightness when ambient illumination is limited.

This characteristic is particularly useful for:

• Outdoor machine vision cameras
• Vehicle-mounted cameras
• Industrial monitoring systems
• Embedded vision modules
• Compact smart cameras

IP67/IP69K Protection for Harsh Environments

The IP67 and IP69K protection ratings make this lens suitable for applications exposed to dust, water, cleaning processes, and demanding environmental conditions.

Designed for automotive, industrial, outdoor machine vision, and embedded imaging applications.

The waterproof construction also makes it suitable for TOWIN’s broader Waterproof Automotive Lens range.

Compact M12 Optical Integration

The M12x0.5 mount and 32.75mm total track length make this lens practical for compact camera assemblies where installation space is limited.

Typical compatible systems include:

• M12 camera modules
• Embedded vision cameras
• Compact industrial cameras
• Automotive vision modules
• Outdoor monitoring cameras
• Machine vision inspection equipment
