M12 Wide Angle Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 6mm M12 wide angle fixed focal lens is designed for compact imaging systems where broad scene coverage and a small optical footprint are important. Its 60° horizontal FOV allows a single camera to monitor a relatively wide area without requiring an oversized lens assembly, making it suitable for embedded cameras, compact monitoring equipment, smart devices, and visual sensing modules.

The compact Φ14 × 16mm structure is particularly valuable for camera designs where installation space is restricted. It can be integrated into small enclosures, embedded vision modules, smart access devices, and compact industrial monitoring equipment where designers need a wider viewing angle without significantly increasing the optical assembly size.

The 0.3m minimum object distance also makes the lens suitable for relatively close-range imaging tasks, such as equipment observation, localized monitoring, and compact inspection systems. When determining whether the 6mm focal length provides sufficient coverage for a particular installation, engineers can use the FOV Calculator to estimate the expected viewing area.

Designed for compact wide-angle embedded imaging and close-range monitoring applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this?

A: This is a 6mm M12 wide angle fixed focal lens designed for compact camera modules requiring broad scene coverage and a small optical footprint.

Q: What sensor size is this M12 lens designed for?

A: The lens is specified for a 1/2.5″ image format and provides a 74° diagonal, 60° horizontal, and 44° vertical field of view.

Q: What is the field of view of the 6mm M12 lens?

A: The lens provides a 74° diagonal FOV, 60° horizontal FOV, and 44° vertical FOV when used with the specified 1/2.5″ image format.

Q: Is this lens a low distortion lens?

A: No. The specified optical distortion is below 19%, so this model should not be positioned as a dedicated low distortion lens. Applications requiring stricter geometric accuracy should use a lens specifically optimized for low distortion.

Q: What is the aperture of this M12 lens?

A: The lens features a fixed F1.8 aperture, providing a stable optical configuration and good light-gathering capability for compact imaging systems.

Q: What is the minimum object distance?

A: With a 0.3m MOD, this lens works for imaging tasks where subjects sit 300mm or further from the lens.

Q: What are the dimensions of this lens?

A: Compact at Φ14 × 16mm, this lens fits camera modules and devices with tight mounting space.

Q: Can this 6mm M12 lens be customized for an OEM camera?

A: TOWIN can evaluate customized optical and mechanical requirements for OEM and ODM camera projects. Customers can contact TOWIN with their sensor, FOV, working distance, housing, and integration requirements.

Product Selection Reference

When selecting a 6mm M12 lens, engineers should consider sensor format, required field of view, working distance, available installation space, and image resolution together. This model combines a 6mm focal length with a 60° horizontal FOV and compact Φ14 × 16mm dimensions, making it particularly suitable for applications that need broad coverage without a large optical assembly.

Compared with longer focal-length lenses, this wide angle configuration can cover a larger scene from a similar working distance. Engineers can review the Lens Basics resources for additional information about focal length, FOV, and lens selection.
