Frequently asked questions

What thread does the CLA819 lens holder use?

The CLA819 uses an M8×0.35 lens thread. It is for M8 micro lenses, not M12 lenses.

What is the hole spacing on the CLA819?

The CLA819 has 18mm hole spacing. Check your camera board drawing before selecting it.

What screws work with the CLA819?

The page lists compatibility with M1.6 thread-forming screws.

What material variant is listed for the CLA819?

The listed part number is CLA819-LCG, described as LCP 30% glass fill.

Is the CLA819 for M12 lenses?

No. The CLA819 is an M8×0.35 holder. Use an M12 holder such as a CLA017, CLA018, CLA019, CLA020, CLA021, CLA022, or CLA024 when the lens thread is M12×0.5.

Does the CLA819 ship same day from the US?

Yes. In-stock orders placed before 12 PM PST ship same day from the Commonlands San Diego warehouse.

The CLA819 is an M8×0.35 lens holder with 18mm hole spacing. It is for M8 micro lenses, not M12 lenses, and should be selected only after checking the lens thread, board hole pattern, and required lens-to-sensor spacing.

The listed part number is CLA819-LCG, described as LCP 30% glass fill. The page calls out compatibility with M1.6 thread-forming screws and a low-profile holder height. That matters on compact camera boards where a taller holder can push the lens too far from the sensor.

This is a mechanical part, not an optical prescription. It does not set field of view, distortion, or resolution by itself. The holder only positions the M8 lens; the final image quality still depends on the lens, sensor, focus position, and PCB stack-up.

The page points to the CIL829 as an example lens family that can use this low-profile M8 holder. In-stock CLA819-LCG orders placed before 12 PM PST ship same day from San Diego.
