14.4mm M12 Lens for sensors up to 1/1.7" such as IMX226 and AR0820

The CIL142 gives 34° field of view across a 9.3mm image circle on 1/1.7" sensors like the IMX226 and AR0820. That is the kind of coverage you use when you need to see a small region clearly from farther back instead of filling the frame with background. The F/2.6 variant resolves 12MP at 1.85μm pixel pitch, while the F/4.1 variant handles 8MP at 2.1μm and gives you more depth of field.

The distortion is -0.4% TV, which is close enough to zero for most machine vision pipelines. Barcode reading, OCR, and dimensional measurement usually work without a distortion-correction step when the mechanics are set up well. You can confirm coverage on your sensor at field of view calculator

The optical stack uses a 6-element all-glass design with an IR cut filter. The aluminum barrel keeps the assembly at 4.3g, so robotic arm end-effectors and gantry inspection heads do not pick up unnecessary weight.

The M12A variant adds BBAR coating on the first surface plus an AL6061 aluminum cap and barrel. It fits Commonlands CLA024 lens holders, FLIR Blackfly S, Allied Vision Alvium, iDS uEye LE, The Imaging Source, and Basler Dart board cameras. e-con Systems boards need a 10-12mm tall holder.
