Computar - VL3522S-MPZ - LensConnect 20 Megapixel 1" 35mm Lens F2.2 I2C Interface (C-Mount)

Product Overview

The Computar VL3522S-MPZ is a high-resolution LensConnect motorized telephoto lens engineered for 20-megapixel industrial imaging systems. Its 35mm focal length provides a narrow field of view for long-distance inspection, high-magnification capture, and applications where the camera must remain farther from the subject.

Key Configuration

20MP optical resolution; C-mount lens; 35mm focal length; S-series I2C control interface; motorized focus; motorized P-Iris; high-repeatability stepper motors; floating focus design; minimum object distance of 0.2m; focus range from 0.2m to infinity.

Key Features

• 35mm telephoto focal length supports detailed imaging from longer working distances.
• I2C interface enables direct board-level control from a microcontroller, FPGA, or embedded camera system.
• Stepper-driven focus and iris provide repeatable optical presets for automated inspection workflows.
• Floating focus technology helps maintain 20MP image quality while minimizing distortion across the focus range.
• P-Iris control allows precise aperture positioning to balance contrast, sharpness, and depth of field.

Technical Context

The lens is designed for embedded vision environments where optical settings must be controlled directly by host hardware. Its motorized focus and iris architecture supports repeatable software-defined presets for inspection lines with changing product heights or working distances.

Installation Notes

The I2C control interface supports compact integration without USB driver overhead, making the lens suitable for OEM imaging modules, smart cameras, and industrial automation systems that require remote optical adjustment.
