Frequently asked questions

What is the hole spacing on the CLA020-PC M12 lens mount?

The CLA020-PC has 20mm hole spacing with a 20mm x 20mm footprint. That pattern matches many embedded vision boards from e-con Systems, Arducam, and similar platforms.

What screws does the CLA020-PC use?

The CLA020-PC uses M1.6 screws. Its polycarbonate body accepts self-tapping M1.6 screws for direct PCB mounting.

How tall is the CLA020-PC lens holder?

The CLA020-PC has 10.0mm profile height. That makes it taller than the 7.9mm CLA022 and gives more back focal distance clearance.

Is the CLA020-PC compatible with all M12 lenses?

Yes, the CLA020-PC accepts any standard M12x0.5 threaded lens, including all Commonlands M12 lenses and most third-party S-mount optics.

Does the CLA020-PC ship same day from the US?

Yes, orders placed before 12 PM PST ship same day from Commonlands in San Diego, California.

Can I order CLA020-PC pre-assembled with a lens?

Yes, Commonlands supports lens and lens holder pre-assembly for quantities of 100 or more. Contact engineering@commonlands.com.

The CLA020-PC is a polycarbonate M12x0.5 lens holder with 20mm hole spacing and a 10.0mm profile height. Its 20mm x 20mm footprint fits many standard embedded vision board layouts, and it uses M1.6 mounting screws.

This holder gives you more back focal distance clearance than the 7.9mm CLA022. If your lens datasheet calls for a 10-15mm holder height, this is the safer choice because it gives the lens room to focus without forcing a custom mechanical stack.

The CLA020-PC is compatible with all M12 lenses in the Commonlands lineup and with most third-party M12 optics. The 20mm spacing is common on boards from e-con Systems, Arducam, and similar embedded camera platforms.

The lens is not included. For volume orders of 100 or more, Commonlands offers pre-assembly of lens and holder so your team does not have to do that work on the line. Reach out to our San Diego engineering team with your configuration.

Commonlands ships this holder same day from our US warehouse for orders placed before 12 PM PST. Use our field of view calculator at field of view calculator to choose the right M12 lens for your sensor format.
