New product line, ED-LENS-M12 needs IR passthrough data in listings

The technical data, and description, lack information about whether this are IR blocking, or IR transmitting lenses. Sometimes, very cheap lenses will not have IR passthrough glass, so a cheap lens will not work, with say, Infrared night vision lighting.

The manufacturer’s website does not have this data.

Hello C.J,

Welcome to the DigiKey TechForum.

The ED-LENS-M12 part number, brings up multiple parts, so I can not see the specific example you are referring to. The lenses that do come up, appear to be lensed to use with the Raspberry Pi, and I do not see any reference for IR use. If you plan to use one of these lenses for an IR application, you will have to contact the manufacture for their recommendations.
