Grayhill 62S22-L5-P Rotary Encoder Optical 16PPR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Grayhill 62S22-L5-P is an optical rotary encoder with 16 pulses per revolution (PPR) in quadrature (incremental) output configuration. This vertical-orientation encoder features a 1/4" diameter flatted end actuator, integrated detent mechanism, and built-in switch functionality. The part is actively manufactured and maintains ROHS3 compliance status. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, supply chain disruptions, or specific compliance requirements necessitate alternative component selection while maintaining functional equivalence.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 62S22-L5-P are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Encoder Type: Optical
• Output Type: Quadrature (Incremental)
• Pulses per Revolution: 16
• Voltage - Supply: 5V
• Actuator Type: 1/4" Dia Flatted End
• Detent: Yes
• Built in Switch: Yes
• Mounting Type: Panel, PCB Through Hole
• Orientation: Vertical
• Termination Style: PC Pin
• Rotational Life (Cycles Min): 1M
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

All identified substitute parts match these parameters exactly. Variations in RoHS compliance status and series designation do not affect functional equivalence for applications where the specified electrical and mechanical characteristics are required.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

62S22-L5-P (Primary Part): Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. Suitable for applications requiring RoHS3 certified components. Current inventory: 965 units.

61C22-01-04-02 (Substitute): Active product status with RoHS non-compliant designation. Functionally equivalent across all electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection appropriate for applications without RoHS3 compliance requirements. Higher inventory availability: 20,299 units.

62N22-P (Substitute): Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. Functionally equivalent across all electrical and mechanical parameters. Suitable for applications requiring RoHS3 certified components. Intermediate inventory availability: 1,016 units.

Selection between 62S22-L5-P and 62N22-P depends on inventory availability and supply chain requirements, as both maintain identical compliance certifications. The 61C22-01-04-02 is selected only when RoHS3 compliance is not a design requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 61C22-01-04-02 be used in place of 62S22-L5-P in RoHS3-regulated applications?

A: No. The 61C22-01-04-02 carries RoHS non-compliant status, while 62S22-L5-P is ROHS3 compliant. Applications subject to RoHS3 requirements must use 62S22-L5-P or 62N22-P.

Q: Are all three parts electrically and mechanically identical?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical encoder type, output type, pulses per revolution, supply voltage, actuator type, detent mechanism, built-in switch, mounting type, orientation, termination style, rotational life rating, and moisture sensitivity level.

Q: What is the difference between 62S22-L5-P and 62N22-P?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and functionally equivalent. The difference is series designation (62S versus 62N) and current inventory levels. Selection between these two depends on availability and supply chain considerations.

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

A: Yes. All three parts support both PCB through-hole and panel mounting configurations with identical PC pin termination.

Q: What is the significance of the 1M rotational life specification?

A: The 1M (1 million cycle) minimum rotational life rating is identical across all three parts, indicating equivalent mechanical durability and operational lifespan.
