Grayhill Inc. 513361-10 Rotary Encoder Mechanical 10PPR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Grayhill Inc. 513361-10 is an active mechanical rotary encoder with 10 pulses per revolution (PPR) BCD absolute output. This vertical-mount encoder features a 1/8" diameter flatted end actuator, detent mechanism, and PC pin termination for panel and PCB through-hole mounting applications. The part is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, packaging requirements, or specific pulse-per-revolution specifications necessitate alternative component selection within the Grayhill Series 51 encoder family.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 513361-10 are identified based on strict parameter matching within the Grayhill Series 51 mechanical encoder family. The primary substitution criteria are:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Encoder Type: Mechanical
• Output Type: BCD (Absolute)
• Actuator Type: 1/8" Dia Flatted End
• Detent: Yes
• Mounting Type: Panel, PCB Through Hole
• Orientation: Vertical
• Termination Style: PC Pin
• Rotational Life: 25K cycles minimum
• Compliance: RoHS and REACH status

Variable Parameters:

• Pulses per Revolution (PPR): 10 or 8
• Packaging: Standard or Bulk

The 513360-10 provides direct equivalence with identical PPR specification. The 513374-8 offers substitution capability with reduced PPR (8 instead of 10), suitable for applications where lower resolution is acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

513360-10 Selection Criteria: The 513360-10 is a direct functional equivalent to the 513361-10, maintaining identical PPR specification (10), mechanical encoder type, BCD absolute output, and all mechanical and electrical parameters. Both parts are active products with full RoHS and REACH compliance. Selection between these two parts is determined by packaging requirements (standard versus bulk) and inventory availability. The 513360-10 carries ROHS3 certification, providing enhanced compliance documentation.

513374-8 Selection Criteria: The 513374-8 is a compatible substitute when application requirements permit reduced resolution. This part maintains all mechanical characteristics, mounting specifications, and compliance certifications of the main part but operates at 8 PPR instead of 10 PPR. Selection of this substitute is appropriate only when the application circuit and firmware can accommodate the lower pulse resolution without functional degradation. The 513374-8 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance.

Compliance Basis: All three parts maintain RoHS compliance (main part: RoHS Compliant; substitutes: ROHS3 Compliant), REACH Unaffected status, and identical MSL ratings. Selection is based on product status (all active), mechanical compatibility, and resolution requirements specific to the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 513360-10 be used as a direct replacement for the 513361-10?

A: Yes. The 513360-10 is functionally equivalent to the 513361-10. Both parts share identical specifications for encoder type, output type, PPR, actuator geometry, detent mechanism, mounting configuration, orientation, termination style, and rotational life. The primary difference is packaging format (bulk versus standard). Both parts are active products with current RoHS and REACH compliance.

Q: What is the key difference between the 513361-10 and the 513374-8?

A: The primary difference is pulses per revolution: the 513361-10 operates at 10 PPR while the 513374-8 operates at 8 PPR. All other mechanical, electrical, and compliance parameters are identical. The 513374-8 is suitable as a substitute only when the application circuit and firmware support 8 PPR resolution.

Q: Are there voltage supply differences between these parts?

A: No voltage supply specification is provided for any of these parts. All three encoders are mechanical absolute output devices without specified supply voltage requirements.

Q: Do packaging differences affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format (standard or bulk) does not affect electrical performance or mechanical function. Packaging selection is determined by procurement and inventory management requirements.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 513361-10 is RoHS Compliant. The 513360-10 and 513374-8 are both ROHS3 Compliant. All three parts are REACH Unaffected and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in panel and PCB through-hole applications?

A: Yes. All three parts support both panel and PCB through-hole mounting with identical mechanical interfaces, 1/8" diameter flatted end actuators, and PC pin termination.

Q: What is the minimum rotational life specification for these encoders?

A: All three parts are rated for a minimum of 25,000 rotational cycles.
