New micro encoders offer high reliability in a compact design

Bourns, Inc. has announced its PEC04 Series 4mm Incremental Micro Encoder, its PEC05 Series 5mm Incremental Micro Encoder and its Model PEC06, a 6mm Incremental Micro Encoder. The company's new micro encoders provide position and speed information essential for control functions in a broad variety of electronic applications.

The PEC04 Series is designed for compact consumer electronics, including micro headphones and smart wearable devices. The PEC05 Series is an optimal incremental encoder for mouse wheels, smart home appliances, and smart wearable devices. Also, the Model PEC06 micro encoder is an excellent solution for smart home appliances and desk lamps, enabling designers to elevate the reliability of these next-generation intelligent devices.

The new micro encoders have an impressive IP40 rating for dust, feature a 30k, 50k, and 20k rotational cycle rating, respectively, and a -20C to +70C operating temperature range in a rugged, compact surface mount design. These micro encoders also offer a 2-bit quadrature code output and a 360-degree continuous mechanical angle. These features and capabilities make these microencoders ideal for space-constrained consumer electronics designs.
