1/3″ 1.5mm M12 Wide Angle Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 1.5mm M12 wide angle automotive lens is designed for vehicle camera applications where broad near-field coverage is required from a compact optical module. Its 155° diagonal field of view provides extensive scene coverage while the 1.5mm focal length allows the camera to observe a wide area from a relatively constrained installation position.

The lens is particularly suitable for side-view, rear-view, front-view, and close-range vehicle monitoring cameras. The wide horizontal and vertical coverage can help capture nearby objects, vehicle surroundings, road edges, and maneuvering areas where a conventional narrow-angle lens would leave significant blind zones.

Its IP69K waterproof rating makes the lens suitable for exterior-mounted automotive camera modules exposed to rain, road splash, dust, and high-pressure washing. This environmental protection is especially relevant for cameras installed in exposed positions around commercial vehicles, passenger vehicles, industrial vehicles, and specialized mobile equipment.

The combination of 0.2m M.O.D. and 155° diagonal FOV also makes this lens appropriate for close-range imaging, where the camera needs to monitor objects relatively near the vehicle. For broader vehicle perception architectures, the lens can be evaluated as part of ADAS solutions where wide-angle optical coverage is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this 1.5mm M12 lens?
A: It is a wide angle automotive lens with an M12X0.5 mount, 1.5mm focal length, and 155° diagonal field of view.

Q: What sensor size is this lens designed for?
A: The lens is specified for a 1/3″ sensor format with a maximum image circle of Φ6.1 mm.

Q: What is the field of view of this M12 automotive lens?
A: The specified field of view is 155° diagonal, 129° horizontal, and 105° vertical.

Q: Is this lens a fisheye lens?
A: It is classified as a wide angle lens rather than a fisheye lens based on the supplied product positioning and optical specifications. Its TV distortion is specified as less than -19%, but field of view and distortion alone do not automatically determine a fisheye classification.

Q: Is this lens suitable for outdoor automotive cameras?
A: Yes. The IP69K waterproof rating makes it suitable for exposed automotive camera installations where the lens may encounter rain, road spray, dust, and high-pressure cleaning.

Q: What is the minimum object distance of this lens?
A: The specified M.O.D. is 0.2m, making it suitable for applications that require imaging relatively close objects around the vehicle.

Q: Does the lens use a fixed or adjustable aperture?
A: It uses a fixed F2.4 aperture and fixed iris, making it suitable for compact embedded camera designs.

Q: Can this M12 automotive lens be customized?
A: Customized optical and mechanical configurations can be evaluated according to the camera sensor, housing, field-of-view, environmental requirements, and installation constraints. For project-specific requirements, please contact Towin.

For automotive camera design, selecting the correct combination of sensor format, focal length, field of view, and installation distance is essential. The Sensor Guide can help engineers evaluate the relationship between camera sensors and lens image coverage.

When comparing different wide-angle optical configurations, the Lens Selection Guide provides useful information about the key parameters involved in selecting an industrial or embedded camera lens.

Because wide-angle lenses naturally introduce geometric distortion, engineers can also refer to the Distortion Guide to understand how TV distortion affects image geometry and application performance.

For preliminary optical calculations, the FOV Calculator can be used to evaluate field-of-view relationships based on focal length and sensor dimensions.
