RE515L-P

RE515L-P is a optical ring encoder. The long life optical encoder far exceeds the typical life for competitors’ mechanical contact products. The ring encoder has a unique center thru-hole which makes it possible to easily add LED integration for knob illumination and/or a pushbutton switch. The long rotational life of the encoder makes it a perfect choice for high-use applications. It is ideal for applications that require extended rotational life, including ultrasound, patient monitoring, and other medical equipment, test and measurement equipment, global positioning/driver information systems, home appliances and other white goods, low-power version ideal for battery-operated and other power-sensitive applications. The ring encoder features an integrated Schmitt trigger and pull-up resistor eliminating the need for these components to be integrated on the customer's PC board, saving both space and cost.
