Frequently asked questions

What sensors work with the CIL359 6mm automotive M12 lens?

The CIL359 supports 1/2.5 inch sensors up to 3MP at 3μm pixel pitch, including the ON Semiconductor AR0341 and Sony ISX031 commonly used in automotive ADAS and OMS camera modules.

Is the CIL359 sealed for exterior applications?

Yes. The CIL359 M12A variant is IP6K9K rated, handling high-pressure water jets, dust ingress, and the thermal cycling of exterior vehicle and outdoor robotics installations.

How does the CIL359 compare to 4mm wide-angle M12 lenses?

The CIL359 offers 78° FoV versus 133° on the CIL337. Choose the CIL359 when you need tighter framing with less distortion (-7% vs -13%), or the CIL337 when maximum coverage matters more than per-pixel resolution.

Can I use the CIL359 for robotics navigation?

The 78° FoV, low F/1.6, and 5g weight make the CIL359 practical for mobile robotics, AGVs, and drone forward-facing cameras where moderate wide-angle coverage and low-light performance are both needed.

Does the CIL359 6mm M12 lens ship from the US?

Yes. Commonlands ships all in-stock lenses same day from San Diego before 12 PM PST. Contact us to confirm current inventory levels.

What lens holder does the CIL359 require?

The Commonlands CLA019 lens holder is recommended. e-con Systems boards need a 10–13mm tall holder. FLIR, Allied Vision, iDS, TIS, and Basler cameras accept the M12A mount directly.

The CIL359 is a 6mm automotive M12 lens with F/1.6 aperture, designed for 1/2.5" sensors resolving up to 3MP at 3μm pixel pitch. At 5.8mm EFL, it hits 78° field of view across the 7.2mm image circle — a practical sweet spot between the ultra-wide 4mm lenses and narrower telephoto options for forward-facing ADAS and robotics cameras.

The -7% F-Theta distortion is moderate and well-characterized, making this a solid pick for automotive OMS (occupant monitoring systems), robotics navigation, and industrial inspection where you need decent angular coverage without extreme barrel distortion. The F/1.6 aperture pulls in enough light for dusk and dawn operation without cranking gain. Pair it with the AR0341 or ISX031 for a proven automotive imaging chain.

Seven all-glass elements in an AL6061 aluminum barrel. IP6K9K sealed — rated for direct exposure to high-pressure water jets, dust, and temperature extremes. 5g total weight. The BBAR coating on the first lens surface cuts reflections and improves contrast in direct sunlight.

Ships as CIL359-F1.6-M12A650 with 650nm IRC filter or CIL359-F1.6-M12ANIR without filter for NIR applications. Compatible with FLIR Blackfly S, Allied Vision Alvium, iDS uEye XLS, The Imaging Source, and Basler Dart. e-con boards need a 10–13mm tall holder. Commonlands CLA019 is the recommended lens mount.

Ships same day from San Diego before 12 PM PST. Check depth of field for your working distance at https://commonlands.com/pages/camera-depth-of-field-calculator and contact our optical engineers for application support.
