Introduction to the C Mount Interface

The C Mount interface is a widely used standard connection interface in the field of precision optics and imaging equipment, especially for the connection of camera lenses and other optical devices. The C Mount interface has several important features, including its standard size, thread specifications, packaging types, and flexibility for various applications. Here is a detailed introduction to the C Mount interface:

1. Size and Thread: The standard size of the C Mount interface is 1 inch (25.4 millimeters) in diameter, with a thread specification of 1-32 UN 2A. This unified size and thread standard ensure compatibility between C Mount devices from different manufacturers, greatly facilitating the design and assembly of optical systems.

 

2. Packaging Types: The C Mount interface is typically made of metal materials, providing reliable mechanical strength and durability. It can serve as the base for optical lenses and other devices such as sensors, cameras, or filters. Common lenses on the C Mount interface are manually adjustable focus lenses, but it can also be used for autofocus and zoom systems.

 

3. Flange Focal Distance: The flange focal distance of the C Mount interface is 17.526 millimeters. This distance is crucial for ensuring the stability of the imaging plane and sensor position, measured from the bottom of the connecting thread to the optical center of the lens.

 

4. Lens Applications: The C Mount interface is widely used in industrial cameras, machine vision systems, medical imaging devices (such as endoscopes for minimally invasive surgeries), microscopes, telescopes, surveillance cameras, and other fields requiring high-quality optical imaging. The flexibility of the C Mount interface allows users to choose different lenses that suit their applications, thus meeting specific imaging needs.

 

The C Mount interface, as a standard connection interface for precision optics and imaging equipment, holds a significant position in a wide range of application areas. Its standard size, threads, packaging, and compatibility make it an indispensable component in various optical systems.
