IR Corrected 16mm M12 Lens for sensors up to 1/1.7" such as IMX226 and AR0821

The CIL162 is a 16mm IR-corrected M12 lens designed for 1/1.8" to 1/1.7" sensors like the Sony IMX226 and ON Semiconductor AR0821. It resolves up to 10MP at F/2.0 with less than 6μm focus shift from visible to 850nm, making it one of the few M12 telephoto lenses that works reliably in day/night switching applications without refocusing.

The 31° field of view at 8.9mm image circle puts this firmly in telephoto territory for M12. Distortion is just -1% at 8.9mm, which is low enough for dimensional measurement and license plate recognition without software correction. The designed image circle is 8.8mm with a maximum of 10mm, so it can cover 1/1.7" sensors with margin.

Six all-glass elements, IP67-sealed aluminum barrel, BBAR coated, at only 6g total weight. The all-glass construction gives thermal stability that plastic-hybrid designs cannot match in outdoor temperature swings. Order CIL162-F2.0-M12A650 with the 650nm IR cut filter for daylight-only use, or CIL162-F2.0-M12ANIR without to take advantage of the IR correction.

Compatible with nearly every major board camera platform: FLIR Blackfly S, Allied Vision Alvium, iDS uEye LE (both revisions), The Imaging Source, and Basler Dart all mount directly. Uses the Commonlands CLA018 M12 lens holder with a 10-13mm tall mount.

Ships same day from San Diego for orders before 12 PM PST. Volume pricing available. Trioptics MTF test data and .STP mechanical models provided on request.
