PEC11R-4215F-N0024 – 24 PPR Mechanical Quadrature Encoder – Bourns
Elevate your motion control systems with the Bourns PEC11R-4215F-N0024 mechanical quadrature encoder. This incremental rotary encoder delivers precise position feedback for industrial and consumer applications, featuring a durable 6mm flatted actuator and vertical PCB mounting. PCX ensures genuine Bourns components with same-day shipping and dedicated technical support.
Key Features
- Encoder Type: Mechanical incremental with quadrature output
- Resolution: 24 pulses per revolution (PPR)
- Actuator: 6mm flatted shaft with detent positioning
- Mounting: Vertical PCB through-hole or panel mount
- Termination: PC pin connectors for secure soldering
- Reliability: 30,000 minimum rotational cycles
Technical Specifications
The PEC11R-4215F-N0024 generates two-channel quadrature signals (A/B phase) for bidirectional motion detection. Its mechanical construction ensures consistent tactile feedback via detents, while the flatted actuator prevents slippage. Designed for direct PCB integration with through-hole PC pins, this active-series component operates without a built-in switch. Verify full electrical characteristics in the PCX-hosted datasheet.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control panels and HMI interfaces
- Audio mixing consoles and DJ equipment
- Robotics joint position sensing
- Medical device adjustment dials
- Automotive dashboard controls

About Rotary Encoders
Rotary encoders translate mechanical rotation into digital signals, enabling precise speed, direction, and position monitoring in automated systems. Incremental quadrature types like this Bourns model provide relative movement data through phase-shifted pulse trains, essential for closed-loop feedback control.
Mechanical encoders offer cost-effective solutions for moderate-duty applications where tactile feedback is advantageous. Their simplicity and robustness make them ideal for user interface controls, motor feedback systems, and instrumentation where absolute positioning isn’t required.
Packaging Information
This Bourns encoder ships in protective trays to prevent damage during transit. PCX provides bulk quantities with custom packaging options upon request.
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What does “quadrature output” mean?
Answer: It generates two 90° out-of-phase square waves, allowing direction detection by analyzing signal sequence.
Question: Can this encoder detect absolute position?
Answer: No, incremental encoders like this model track relative movement only, requiring external counters for position reference.
Question: Is the detent mechanism adjustable?
Answer: The detent is factory-set and non-adjustable, providing consistent tactile feedback at 15° intervals (24 PPR).
Question: What’s the operating voltage range?
Answer: Refer to the datasheet; typical Bourns PEC11R encoders operate at 5V DC, but specifications may vary.
Question: Does it require external debouncing?
Answer: Mechanical encoders benefit from hardware/software debouncing to eliminate contact noise.
Question: Can PCX provide samples before bulk orders?
Answer: Yes, PCX offers sample requests for qualified design engineers.
