This compact rotary encoder is designed to give your project a smooth, tactile, and precise way to adjust settings or navigate menus. It’s a high‑quality incremental encoder with 24 pulses per revolution (24 detents), so each “click” corresponds to a small, defined step and the shaft rotates continuously rather than being limited to a fixed range like a potentiometer.
Key features
- 24‑pulse encoder: 24 steps per full rotation, giving fine adjustment with a clearly felt “click” at each segment.
- Push‑button integrated: The knob doubles as a momentary switch, so pressing it closes a separate normally‑open contact, great for “select/confirm” actions.
- Mounting options: Panel‑mount flanges make it easy to install in a box or panel, or you can cut/bend the side tabs to plug the pins directly into a breadboard or PCB.
Electrical connections
- Encoder side: 3‑pin header with ground plus two quadrature output pins (A and B), typically used with pull‑up resistors to read direction and rotation on a microcontroller.
- Switch side: 2‑pin header for the normally‑open push‑button contact, which can be wired to a digital input to detect knob presses.
Included extras
- A soft‑touch knob with an arrow line is included, which fits the shaft closely and gives a clean, professional look to your interface.
Note: Product size and exact dimensions (shaft length, knob diameter) may vary slightly by listing.
