IR Corrected 6mm M12 Lens for sensors such as OX05B1S

The CIL361 is a 6.1mm IR-corrected M12 lens for 1/2.5" sensors up to 5MP with 2.2μm pixel pitch. It is a strong match for sensors like the OmniVision OX05B1S, and it keeps one optical path working from visible through near-IR. If your camera has to stay in focus in both day and night modes, this is the first lens to evaluate.

The CIL361 gives you 76° across the 7.2mm image circle. Distortion measures -7% F-Θ and -10% TV, which is normal for a wide M12 lens in this focal length range. That tradeoff is usually acceptable in security, robotics navigation, and general machine vision, but it is the wrong choice for distortion-sensitive metrology. If you need cleaner geometry, move to a longer focal length like the CIL078.

The lens uses all-glass elements in an AL6061 aluminum barrel, and the full assembly weighs 5.1g. The glass construction handles temperature swings better than plastic-heavy designs do. IR correction keeps visible light and 400nm through 900nm+ light on nearly the same focal plane, so the system does not need a refocus step between day and night operation.

The M12A variant ships without an IR cut filter as CIL361-F1.8-M12ANIR. The lens works with e-con Systems boards that use a 10-13mm tall holder, and it also fits Allied Vision Alvium, FLIR Blackfly S, iDS uEye LE, The Imaging Source, and Basler Dart cameras through the Commonlands CLA024 lens holder.
