Grayhill 62S22-L4-P Rotary Encoder Optical 16PPR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Grayhill 62S22-L4-P is an optical rotary encoder with 16 pulses per revolution (PPR), delivering quadrature incremental output. This vertical-mounted encoder features a 1/4" diameter flatted end actuator, integrated detent mechanism, and built-in switch functionality. The device operates at 5V supply voltage and is mounted via PCB through-hole termination with PC pin connections.

The 62S22-L4-P maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected classification. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when addressing inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or specific application parameter needs while maintaining functional compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 62S22-L4-P are identified based on strict parameter alignment within the optical rotary encoder category. The substitution logic is structured as follows:

Direct Equivalents (Same PPR): Parts maintaining identical pulses per revolution (16 PPR) with matching electrical and mechanical specifications qualify as direct substitutes. These parts preserve signal resolution and timing characteristics required by systems designed for the original component.

Functional Alternatives (Different PPR): Parts with differing pulses per revolution values are classified as functional alternatives. These encoders maintain compatibility across core parameters—optical encoding, quadrature output, 5V supply, vertical orientation, PCB through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination—but deliver different resolution levels. Selection of functional alternatives requires system-level assessment of resolution requirements.

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Encoder Type: Optical
• Output Type: Quadrature (Incremental)
• Voltage - Supply: 5V
• Actuator Type: 1/4" Dia Flatted End
• Mounting Type: PCB, Through Hole
• Orientation: Vertical
• Termination Style: PC Pin

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

62S22-M5-P (Direct Equivalent): This part is a direct substitute for the 62S22-L4-P. Both encoders share identical specifications across all critical parameters: 16 PPR resolution, 5V supply voltage, optical quadrature output, vertical PCB through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. Both maintain Active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and 1M rotational life rating. The 62S22-M5-P is suitable for applications requiring identical functional and electrical characteristics with no design modification required.

62N30-P (Functional Alternative): This encoder operates as a functional alternative with 12 PPR resolution compared to the 16 PPR of the main part. The 62N30-P maintains compatibility across all core electrical and mechanical parameters: optical encoding, quadrature output, 5V supply, vertical orientation, PCB through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. Selection of the 62N30-P is appropriate only when system architecture accommodates reduced resolution (12 PPR versus 16 PPR). Both parts maintain Active status, ROHS3 compliance, and equivalent reliability ratings.

All substitute parts listed maintain compliance certifications and regulatory status identical to the main part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 62S22-M5-P replace the 62S22-L4-P without circuit modification?

A: Yes. The 62S22-M5-P is a direct equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. No circuit modification is required. Both parts deliver 16 PPR quadrature output at 5V supply voltage with identical mounting and termination characteristics.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 62S22-L4-P and 62N30-P?

A: The primary difference is pulses per revolution: the 62S22-L4-P delivers 16 PPR while the 62N30-P delivers 12 PPR. All other parameters—optical encoding, quadrature output, 5V supply, vertical mounting, and PC pin termination—remain identical. The 62N30-P is suitable only when system resolution requirements accommodate 12 PPR operation.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The 62S22-M5-P and 62N30-P are both ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the 62S22-L4-P. All parts maintain REACH unaffected classification.

Q: What mounting compatibility exists between substitute parts?

A: All listed parts—62S22-L4-P, 62S22-M5-P, and 62N30-P—utilize identical mounting specifications: PCB through-hole mounting with PC pin termination and vertical orientation. Physical mounting footprints are compatible.

Q: Do substitute parts maintain the same rotational life rating?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain a minimum rotational life rating of 1M cycles, identical to the 62S22-L4-P.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity classification for all parts?

A: All parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.
