PEC11S-9215K-H0015

Encoders are electronic devices that take an analog or digital input and output a coded value. The PEC11S-9215K-H0015 is one type of encoder used in a variety of applications. It is a hall-effect rotary encoder with an integrated pushbutton switch designed to provide accurate positioning feedback in motors and robot mechanisms, as well as the ability to provide a switch for user input.

The PEC11S-9215K-H0015 is a Hall Effect rotary encoder with 15 detent positions in a 2-bit quadrature output code. It has a shaft with two radial positions to define 4 quadrant outputs. The encoder is powered by a 3-30V DC or AC supply and can output up to 200mA of current. The maximum operating temperature is up to -30℃ to 85℃ and it is rated for up to 5 million operating cycles.

The working principle of the PEC11S-9215K-H0015 is based on the Hall Effect principle of magnetism, which states that a current-carrying conductor has a magnetic field which is proportional to the current. The built-in integrated circuit detects the presence of the hall magnetic field generated by the magnets when the shaft rotates. When the magnets comes in close proximity to the Hall sensor, the output voltage of the Hall Element varies and the internal logic integrated circuit will output one of two square waves. These square waves will subsequently determine the direction the shaft is rotating. In other words, each magnet rotates the output voltage of the Hall element, allowing the control circuit to track the shaft position by recognizing the square wave pattern.

The PEC11S-9215K-H0015 is widely used in a variety of applications such as motor control, robotics and machine automation. Due to its small size and low current consumption, it is also popular for use in compact designs. The PushButton feature on this encoder also opens a new spectrum of applications such as input device for manual control of industrial equipment and data entry machines.

To summarize, the PEC11S-9215K-H0015 is a Hall Effect rotary encoder with a PushButton switch, could be widely used for motor control, robotics and machine automation and data entry machines. It works based on the Hall Effect principle and provides accurate positioning feedback and switch input. It is suitable for use in compact designs with its small size and low current consumption.
