onsemi AR0234 · 2.3MP 1/2.6" global-shutter CMOS image sensor
AR0234 Sensor Specifications & Compatible M12 and C-Mount Lenses
The AR0234 from onsemi is a 1/2.6-inch global-shutter CMOS image sensor for high-speed machine vision and robotics. It resolves 1920x1200 (2.3 MP) at up to 120 fps on 3um pixels across a 6.79mm diagonal, output over MIPI CSI-2 or parallel in color or mono. Commonlands matches M12 Lenses to this image circle and lists the calculated horizontal, vertical, and diagonal field of view for each one.

Compatible Commonlands Lenses for the AR0234 with Calculated Field of View
Each field of view below is calculated for the AR0234 active area (5.76 × 3.6 mm) from Commonlands’ per-lens field-of-view data, which reflects each lens’s real distortion rather than a focal-length-only estimate. Alongside the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal field of view, each row lists the lens aperture (F#), distortion, ingress protection, total track length (TTL), and rated resolution, so you can shortlist on optics and mechanics in one pass. Coverage shows whether the lens image circle covers the 6.79 mm sensor diagonal. Only lenses that cover the full diagonal are listed. Run exact working-distance and object-size numbers through the field of view calculator.
Engineering picks for the AR0234
- Best ~30° HFoV: Telephoto 10.4mm M12 Lens (CIL104) (10.4 mm, f/3.8). Why: the closest covering option to 30° horizontal, chosen for tight inspection framing and long read ranges. Field of view on the AR0234: 31° H × 20° V (36° diagonal); image circle covers the full sensor; verified 2026-07-02.
- Best ~60° HFoV: Wide-Angle 5.8mm M12 Lens (CIL358) (5.8 mm, f/1.9). Why: the closest covering option to 60° horizontal, chosen for general-purpose machine-vision framing. Field of view on the AR0234: 59° H × 36° V (70° diagonal); image circle covers the full sensor; verified 2026-07-02.
- Best ~120° HFoV: Low Distortion 1.8mm M12 Lens (CIL018) (1.8 mm, f/2.8). Why: the closest covering option to 120° horizontal, chosen for wide navigation and room-scale coverage. Field of view on the AR0234: 121° H × 92° V (130° diagonal); image circle covers the full sensor; verified 2026-07-02.
- Lowest distortion: Low Distortion 4.4mm M12 Lens (CIL043) (4.4 mm, f/3.2). Why: measured -0.5% TV distortion, the flattest image among covering lenses. Field of view on the AR0234: 67° H × 45° V (76° diagonal); image circle covers the full sensor; verified 2026-07-02.
- Best low light: 8mm C-Mount Lens (CIL521) (8 mm, f/1.5). Why: the fastest covering aperture (f/1.5), which collects the most light per pixel. Field of view on the AR0234: 40° H × 25° V (46° diagonal); image circle covers the full sensor; verified 2026-07-02.
Commonlands offers 62 lens options for the AR0234: M12 Lenses and C-Mount Lenses from 0.8 mm to 100 mm focal length, spanning 3° to 195° horizontal field of view on the AR0234 active area.
covers means the lens image circle is at least as large as the 6.79 mm sensor diagonal, so the corners are not cropped. Need a focal length or coverage that is not listed here? Ask our engineers to confirm a match.
How to choose a lens for the AR0234
Start from the field of view your application needs, then read across to the focal length that produces it on the AR0234. Confirm the lens image circle covers the 6.79 mm diagonal so the corners are not cropped, and check the lens resolution is rated for 2.3 MP or higher so it resolves the 3.0 µm pixels. For exact working-distance and object-size numbers, run the figures through the Commonlands field of view calculator.
