An M12 lens is a miniature, screw mount lens with M12 diameter threads, commonly called a “board mount” or “S-mount” lenses. M12 lenses typically have a fixed aperture, and are screwed and are focused by screwing them into the mount and locking them in place – usually with a bead of UV-cured glue. Similar miniature lenses are available in M10, M8, and M6 diameter thread sizes, but M12 lenses are the most commonly used size, since their image circle provides good coverage for a wide variety of image sensors.

M12 lenses are typically affixed to the image sensor component board with a standard M12 lens mount, which is why they are sometimes called “board mount lenses”. Camera systems that use board mount lenses are generally less complex and expensive to manufacture than camera systems that use other lens mount technologies. However, the lens mount needs to be accurately aligned with the image sensor to ensure that the image circle is in focus over the entire sensor surface.
