Compact, Rugged and Waterproof
The JC5MC-WP from Kowa is a cutting-edge lens series designed to push the boundaries of what’s possible in 5MP imaging. Building upon the proven success of our JC5MC range, these lenses are optimized for 2/3" sensors with a pixel size of 3.45 μm, offering exceptional clarity and precision for demanding vision applications.
But the JC5MC-WP brings something extra to the table — full waterproof capability — making it a go-to solution for environments where dust, moisture, and extreme conditions are part of daily operations.
Ultra-Compact, Ultra-Lightweight Design
In the world of high-resolution optics, the JC5MC-WP stands out as one of the smallest and lightest 5MP lenses on the market. Measuring roughly half the size of a standard 5MP lens, each unit weighs in at just up to 52 grams, reducing the load on your imaging system without compromising quality. This makes them perfect for space-restricted setups, lightweight robotics, and portable inspection devices.
Ruggedized for Demanding Applications
Vibration, shock, and mechanical stress can degrade optical performance — but not here. The JC5MC-WP series is fully ruggedized, engineered to withstand continuous operation in tough industrial settings. Its durable housing not only absorbs impact but is also IP67-rated, ensuring complete protection against dust and water immersion.
This rugged build means reliable, distortion-free performance whether you’re working on a factory floor, in outdoor surveillance, or in transportation monitoring systems exposed to the elements.
Optimized Compatibility
The JC5MC-WP has been precisely tuned for leading 5MP sensors, including the Sony IMX250, IMX252, IMX264, and IMX265 — and many others. Whether you’re capturing fine details in quality inspection or monitoring high-speed processes, these lenses deliver consistent, high-contrast imagery.
Available focal lengths include 8mm, 12mm, 16mm, and 25mm, giving integrators the flexibility to match lens choice to application needs.
When Reliability Meets Versatility
From machine vision in wet processing environments to outdoor imaging in unpredictable weather, the JC5MC-WP series is designed to perform without compromise. Its combination of compact size, lightweight build, rugged design, and waterproof protection makes it a standout choice for system designers who refuse to trade durability for optical performance.
With the JC5MC-WP, you get precision optics that are as tough as the jobs they take on — ready for wherever your vision system needs to go.
