Frequently asked questions

What is the IR cutoff wavelength of the CLA214-ICR?

The CLA214-ICR uses a D263T glass substrate with IR cut-off at T=50% at 645nm ±10nm. The IRC filter thickness is 0.21mm, and the dummy glass matches it at 0.21mm.

How do you control the CLA214-ICR IR cut switcher?

You control the CLA214-ICR with an H-bridge circuit and a 3.3V-5.0V pulse for 100-500ms. Forward polarity on the 2-pin 1.25mm JST connector opens the filter, and reverse polarity closes it.

What is the CLA214-ICR lifecycle rating?

The minimum rated lifecycle is 50,000 switching cycles. Production units often exceed 100,000 cycles, but Commonlands guarantees the 50,000 minimum.

What are the dimensions of the CLA214-ICR?

The CLA214-ICR is 14mm tall and uses 20mm mounting hole spacing. That profile fits many embedded camera stacks used for day and night switching.

Does the CLA214-ICR ship same day from the US?

Yes. Orders placed before 12 PM PST ship same day from our San Diego warehouse.

Which M12 lenses are compatible with the CLA214-ICR?

The CLA214-ICR works with any Commonlands M12 lens ordered without an IRC filter in the NIR variant. Pair it with lenses such as the CIL078-F2.0-M12ANI when you need switchable day and night operation.

The CLA214-ICR is an IR cut-off filter switcher for M12 lenses with 20mm hole spacing and 14mm height. It carries a 0.21mm thick IRC filter plus a matched 0.21mm dummy glass, so a camera can switch between visible and NIR imaging without shifting the optical path. The D263T glass substrate has a T=50% cutoff at 645nm ±10nm.

You drive the switcher with a 3.3V-5.0V pulse for 100-500ms through the 2-pin 1.25mm JST connector on the 60mm lead. Red is positive and black is negative. Forward polarity opens the filter, and reverse polarity closes it. Coil resistance is 20Ω ±10Ω with a 3.0V starting voltage.

The magnetic motor mechanism is rated for a minimum 50,000 lifecycles, and production units typically exceed 100,000. The 14mm height fits many embedded vision camera stacks that need day and night switching but still have to live inside a compact enclosure.

The CLA214 pairs with any Commonlands M12 lens ordered in the NIR variant, so you can switch between visible-light and near-infrared operation without changing the lens. That setup is common in security cameras, agricultural inspection, and outdoor monitoring.

The CLA214 is in stock and ships same day from San Diego for orders placed before 12 PM PST. Contact engineering@commonlands.com for volume pricing or custom filter wavelength requests.
