Overview

The Bourns PEC11R-4015F-S0012 is a compact, mechanical rotary encoder offering 12 pulses per revolution with a quadrature output. It features a vertical orientation, PC pin termination for through-hole mounting, and includes a built-in momentary push switch for additional user input. Its rugged design ensures high reliability for various human-machine interface applications.

Why Choose This Part

This encoder provides a robust and reliable input solution with a mechanical rotational life of 30,000 cycles. Its integrated push switch reduces component count and simplifies PCB layout for user interface designs. The metal bushing and shaft contribute to its ruggedness and long-term performance in demanding environments.

Applications

Audio Equipment Control
Ideal for volume, tone, or menu navigation controls in audio mixers, amplifiers, and effects pedals due to its precise incremental feedback and push switch.
Industrial Control Panels
Suitable for setting parameters, selecting options, or navigating menus on industrial machinery and equipment interfaces, offering a robust input method.
Consumer Electronics
Can be used in home appliances, electronic gadgets, or test equipment where a reliable rotary input with a push-button function is required for user interaction.
Medical Devices
Applicable in non-critical medical devices for parameter adjustment or menu selection, benefiting from its compact size and high reliability.

Getting Started

Integrating this mechanical encoder involves connecting its 5 PC pins to a microcontroller's GPIOs. The 2-bit quadrature output can be read to determine rotation direction and speed, while the separate switch pin provides on/off status. No specific development boards or toolchains are required beyond a standard embedded development setup.

Also Consider
