7mm M12 Lens for Board Mount Cameras such as IMX477 and IMX412

The CIL068 is a 6.8mm low-distortion M12 lens for 1/1.8" sensors up to 12MP at 1.55μm pixel pitch. At F/2.5 with just -3% rectilinear distortion, it fits the kind of machine vision work where geometry matters, including dimensional measurement, barcode scanning, and inspection on sensors like the IMX477 and IMX412.

The lens gives 62° across an 8.0mm image circle. The 7.833mm image circle spec keeps illumination clean into the corners on 1/2" format sensors, and the low distortion means straight features stay straight enough for AOI, pick-and-place guidance, and other yield-sensitive processes without leaning hard on software correction.

The optical stack uses eight all-glass elements plus IRC in an aluminum barrel. The 12g weight is higher than a miniature M12 lens, but the extra glass is what buys you better aberration correction at 12MP. The all-metal construction also helps keep thermal focus shift out of factory-floor and outdoor installations.

The single M12A variant ships with BBAR coating and no IP rating. You should put it in a sealed enclosure if the environment is harsh. The lens is mechanically compatible with Commonlands CLA019 lens holders, FLIR Blackfly S, Allied Vision Alvium, iDS uEye LE, The Imaging Source, and Basler Dart cameras. A 10–15mm tall holder fits e-con Systems boards.

Commonlands ships this lens same day from San Diego before 12 PM PST. Every unit is Trioptics MTF tested at 100%. It is available with or without a 650nm IR cut filter. Contact our optical engineers for volume pricing or to calculate your depth of field
