Grayhill 62S15-L0-P Rotary Encoder Optical 24PPR: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Grayhill 62S15-L0-P is an optical rotary encoder with 24 pulses per revolution (PPR), providing quadrature incremental output. This encoder features a 1/4" diameter flatted end actuator, detent mechanism, and vertical PCB through-hole mounting with PC pin termination. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts become necessary when the 62S15-L0-P reaches end-of-life status, inventory depletion, or when application requirements permit operation at alternative resolution levels while maintaining core electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 62S15-L0-P are qualified based on strict parameter alignment in the following categories:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Grayhill Inc.
• Encoder Type: Optical
• Output Type: Quadrature (Incremental)
• Supply Voltage: 5V
• Actuator Type: 1/4" Dia Flatted End
• Detent: Yes
• Built-in Switch: No
• Mounting Type: PCB, Through Hole
• Orientation: Vertical
• Termination Style: PC Pin
• Rotational Life: 1M cycles minimum
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

Variable Parameter (Allows Substitution):

• Pulses per Revolution (PPR): The 62S15-L0-P operates at 24 PPR. Substitute parts operate at 16 PPR, representing a lower resolution alternative suitable for applications where reduced encoder resolution is acceptable.

The two qualified substitute parts (62S22-M0-P and 62F22-01-P-L) differ from the main part only in PPR specification and series designation, while maintaining all other electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (62S15-L0-P): The 62S15-L0-P remains the primary choice for applications requiring 24 PPR resolution. All parts maintain Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance with REACH unaffected designation, ensuring regulatory alignment across the product family.

Substitute Selection (62S22-M0-P or 62F22-01-P-L): Substitution to either 62S22-M0-P or 62F22-01-P-L is permissible only when application firmware or mechanical design accommodates 16 PPR operation. Both substitutes maintain identical electrical specifications (5V supply), mechanical interfaces (1/4" flatted end actuator, vertical PCB mounting, PC pin termination), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH unaffected, MSL 1).

Series Consideration: The 62S22-M0-P maintains the 62S series designation matching the main part. The 62F22-01-P-L represents the 62F series alternative. Both are functionally equivalent within the substitution parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 62S22-M0-P or 62F22-01-P-L be used as direct drop-in replacements for the 62S15-L0-P?

A: Direct mechanical and electrical substitution is possible. However, the 16 PPR output of substitute parts differs from the 24 PPR of the main part. Applications must accommodate this resolution change in firmware or mechanical design. All other parameters—supply voltage, actuator geometry, mounting configuration, and termination style—are identical.

Q: What is the difference between the 62S22-M0-P and 62F22-01-P-L substitutes?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is series designation: 62S22-M0-P belongs to the 62S series, while 62F22-01-P-L belongs to the 62F series. Selection between these two substitutes depends on inventory availability and internal part numbering requirements.

Q: Are all three parts (62S15-L0-P, 62S22-M0-P, 62F22-01-P-L) RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts carry ROHS3 Compliant status and REACH Unaffected designation, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

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

A: All three parts have MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage, handling, or assembly processes.

Q: Can these encoders be used in applications requiring more than 1 million rotational cycles?

A: The specified rotational life minimum is 1M cycles for all three parts. Applications requiring extended operational life beyond this specification require separate validation.

Q: What mounting configurations are supported?

A: All three parts support PCB through-hole mounting with vertical orientation and PC pin termination. No surface-mount or alternative mounting options are available within this product family.
