Grayhill Inc. 513374-10 Rotary Encoder Mechanical 10PPR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Grayhill Inc. 513374-10 is an active mechanical rotary encoder with 10 pulses per revolution (PPR) BCD absolute output. This vertical-mount component is designed for panel and PCB through-hole applications with a 1/8" diameter flatted end actuator. The encoder features mechanical detent operation and PC pin termination, delivering 25,000 minimum rotational life cycles. Finding equivalent and substitute parts becomes necessary when managing inventory optimization, addressing supply chain constraints, or accommodating design flexibility within specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 513374-10 is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• 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
• RoHS and REACH compliance status

Secondary Consideration:

• Pulses per Revolution: Substitutes may vary (8 PPR or 10 PPR) depending on application requirements

The substitute parts listed below maintain full compatibility across mechanical mounting, electrical interface, and environmental compliance specifications. Variations in PPR represent functional alternatives within the same product family and series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

513360-10 Substitution: The 513360-10 maintains identical specifications to the 513374-10 across all mechanical, electrical, and environmental parameters. Both parts share the same 10 PPR output, Series 51 platform, and full compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected). Selection between these two parts is determined by inventory availability and supply chain considerations, as no functional differentiation exists.

513374-8 Substitution: The 513374-8 provides a functional alternative with 8 PPR output instead of 10 PPR. All other specifications—mechanical mounting, detent operation, PC pin termination, rotational life, and compliance status—remain identical. This substitute is applicable only when the application design accommodates 8 PPR resolution. The encoder maintains the same Series 51 platform and vertical orientation.

All substitute parts carry Active product status and equivalent inventory availability, supporting seamless integration into existing designs and procurement workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 513360-10 be used as a direct replacement for the 513374-10? A: Yes. The 513360-10 is a direct mechanical and electrical equivalent. Both parts share identical specifications for encoder type, output format (BCD Absolute), PPR (10), actuator geometry, detent operation, mounting configuration, and compliance certifications. Selection is based on supply availability.

Q: What is the key difference between the 513374-10 and 513374-8? A: The primary difference is pulses per revolution: 513374-10 provides 10 PPR, while 513374-8 provides 8 PPR. All other parameters—mechanical mounting, detent, termination style, rotational life, and compliance—are identical. The 513374-8 is a functional substitute only if the application design supports 8 PPR resolution.

Q: Are all three parts compatible with the same PCB through-hole footprint? A: Yes. All three parts (513374-10, 513360-10, and 513374-8) share identical mounting specifications: Panel and PCB Through Hole configuration, vertical orientation, 1/8" diameter flatted end actuator, and PC pin termination. Mechanical interchangeability is confirmed.

Q: Do these encoders require any special handling or storage conditions? A: All three parts carry MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard component storage practices apply. RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status confirm environmental regulatory alignment.

Q: What is the minimum rotational life specification for all substitute parts? A: All three parts—513374-10, 513360-10, and 513374-8—specify 25,000 cycles minimum rotational life, ensuring equivalent mechanical durability and operational longevity.

Q: Can the 513360-10 and 513374-10 be used interchangeably in existing designs? A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable with no design modifications required. The base product numbers differ (513360 vs. 513374), but all functional parameters and compliance certifications are identical.
