Computar - DL1623SC-MPY - LensConnect 12 Megapixel 1/1.1" 16mm Lens F2.3 I2C Interface (C-Mount)

Product Overview

The Computar DL1623SC-MPY is a 12-megapixel motorized C-mount lens from the LensConnect series, designed for embedded vision, smart camera, OEM, and machine vision systems that require precise remote focus and iris control.

Key Configuration

12MP lens; LensConnect series; C-mount; 16mm focal length; F2.3 maximum aperture; SC model; 4-wire I2C interface; motorized focus; motorized P-Iris; 0.1m minimum object distance.

Key Features

• I2C interface enables direct control from a microcontroller, FPGA, or embedded camera platform
• Motorized focus and iris support remote adjustment without PC-based USB control
• Stepper motors provide accurate positioning and repeatable focus presets
• F2.3 maximum aperture supports shorter exposure times in high-speed inspection environments
• Floating focus technology helps maintain 12MP image quality from center to edge

Technical Context

The SC version uses a 4-wire I2C protocol for embedded-first integration. This allows the lens to be controlled directly by system hardware, reducing USB overhead in smart cameras, OEM imaging devices, and automated inspection systems.

Installation Notes

The 16mm focal length provides a narrower, more focused field of view than shorter models in the same series. Its motorized P-Iris and repeatable digital focus positioning are useful for inspection lines where product height, distance, or lighting conditions vary.
