Optical Encoder suits medical/automotive applications.
Press Release Summary:
Using optically coupled circuitry, Series 62P consists of PCB-mounted switch with minimum life expectancy of 500,000 rotational cycles, 16 detent positions, and choice of pushbutton actuation force. It does not exhibit contact bounce normally produced by mechanical contacts, eliminating need for de-bounce circuitry or software. Switch terminations, shaft and bushing configurations, and resolutions are customizable to meet user requirements.Original Press Release:
Low Price Optical Encoder
Using optically coupled circuitry, the new Grayhill Series 62P optical encoder provides ten to fifty times the life cycle reliability of comparably priced mechanical encoders. In addition the 62P does not exhibit the contact bounce normally produced by mechanical contacts, thus eliminating the need for de-bounce circuitry or software.
The Series 62P is a p.c. board mounted switch that features a minimum life expectancy of 500,000 rotational cycles, 16 detent positions and a choice of pushbutton actuation force. Grayhill will customize the switch including terminations, shaft and bushing configurations and resolutions to meet specific customer requirements.
The Series 62P is ideal for applications utilizing digital circuitry such as medical devices, white goods, automotive control systems and audio equipment. The price is around $4.00 each when purchasing 1000 pieces.
