Grayhill Inc. 513360-12-C Rotary Encoder Mechanical 12PPR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Grayhill Inc. 513360-12-C is an active mechanical rotary encoder with 12 pulses per revolution (PPR) BCD absolute output. This vertical-mounted encoder features a 1/8" diameter flatted end actuator, detent mechanism, and PC pin termination for panel and PCB through-hole applications. The part is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) and maintains a rotational life rating of 25,000 cycles minimum. Alternative models within the Grayhill Series 51 encoder family are available to accommodate different pulse-per-revolution requirements while maintaining identical mechanical and electrical compatibility parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 513360-12-C are selected based on strict parameter compatibility within the Grayhill Series 51 mechanical encoder family. All substitute parts maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters: encoder type (mechanical), output type (BCD absolute), actuator type (1/8" diameter flatted end), detent mechanism (yes), mounting configuration (panel and PCB through-hole), orientation (vertical), termination style (PC pin), rotational life (25K cycles minimum), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH unaffected, MSL 1).

Substitutes are grouped into two categories:

Category A: Identical PPR (12 Pulses per Revolution) Parts 513374-12-C, 513384, and 513385 maintain the same 12 PPR specification as the main part 513360-12-C, differing only in base product number designation within the Series 51 family.

Category B: Alternative PPR (8, 10, 11 Pulses per Revolution) Parts 513374-8, 513360-10, and 513374-11 provide alternative pulse-per-revolution counts while maintaining all other mechanical and electrical parameters. These are suitable for applications requiring different resolution specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (12 PPR Requirement)

Parts 513374-12-C, 513384, and 513385 are direct functional equivalents to 513360-12-C. All three maintain identical 12 PPR output specification and share all mechanical and electrical parameters. Selection among these three parts may be based on inventory availability and base product number designation within the Series 51 family. All three are active products with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

For Alternative Resolution Requirements

When application specifications permit alternative pulse-per-revolution counts, the following substitutes are available:

Part 513360-10 provides 10 PPR output while maintaining all other mechanical and electrical compatibility parameters.

Part 513374-11 provides 11 PPR output with identical mechanical mounting and electrical characteristics.

Part 513374-8 provides 8 PPR output for lower-resolution applications requiring the same mechanical form factor and termination style.

All substitute parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 rating. All maintain 25,000 cycle minimum rotational life specification and PC pin termination for panel and PCB through-hole mounting configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 513374-12-C be used as a direct replacement for 513360-12-C?

A: Yes. Both parts are 12 PPR mechanical rotary encoders with BCD absolute output, identical actuator type (1/8" diameter flatted end), detent mechanism, vertical orientation, PC pin termination, and 25K cycle rotational life. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. The difference is the base product number designation within the Series 51 family.

Q: What is the difference between the 12 PPR and 10 PPR versions?

A: The primary difference is pulses per revolution. Part 513360-12-C provides 12 PPR output, while 513360-10 provides 10 PPR output. All other parameters remain identical: BCD absolute output type, mechanical encoder type, 1/8" flatted end actuator, detent, vertical orientation, PC pin termination, 25K rotational life, and compliance certifications.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are supplied in bulk packaging, consistent with the main part 513360-12-C.

Q: Can I use a lower PPR encoder (8 or 10) in place of the 12 PPR version?

A: Substitution depends on application requirements. Parts 513374-8 (8 PPR) and 513360-10 (10 PPR) maintain identical mechanical mounting, electrical output type (BCD absolute), actuator configuration, and termination style. However, the reduced pulse count affects resolution. Use only if your application specifications permit lower resolution output.

Q: Are all these parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All listed parts, including the main part 513360-12-C and all substitutes, are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these encoders?

A: All parts maintain MSL 1 (unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
