Overview

The EN11-HSM1AF15 is a compact 11mm mechanical incremental rotary encoder designed for panel mounting and PCB integration. It provides a 2-bit gray code quadrature output with 20 pulses per revolution and includes an integrated push-on switch for user interface navigation. The vertical orientation and threaded M7 bushing make it a reliable choice for human-machine interface (HMI) controls in space-constrained designs.

Why Choose This Part

This encoder features a robust metal bushing and flatted shaft for durability, rated for 30,000 rotational cycles. The combination of 20 detents and a built-in momentary switch allows for both incremental adjustment and selection in a single compact footprint.

Applications

Audio Equipment Volume Control
Ideal for digital volume knobs and gain adjustments where a rotary interface with tactile detents is required.
Industrial Parameter Adjustment
Used in control panels to navigate menus and select operating values on small LCD or OLED displays.
Test and Measurement Instrumentation
Provides precise user input for setting frequency, voltage, or current limits on handheld or benchtop devices.

Getting Started

To integrate this encoder, connect the A and B quadrature pins to microcontroller GPIOs with internal pull-up resistors or external 10k ohm resistors. Use interrupt-driven logic or periodic polling to decode the gray code state transitions, and ensure a hardware RC filter or software debouncing routine is implemented to manage mechanical contact bounce.
