Grayhill 62S30-L9-P Rotary Encoder Optical 12PPR - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Grayhill 62S30-L9-P is an optical rotary encoder with 12 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 component is designed for PCB through-hole mounting with PC pin termination and operates at 5V supply voltage.

The 62S30-L9-P maintains Active product status with 1011 units in current inventory. Identification of equivalent substitute parts is necessary to support supply chain continuity, procurement flexibility, and design alternatives when the primary part number becomes unavailable or when alternative packaging or compliance certifications are required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 62S30-L9-P is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Encoder Type: Optical
• Output Type: Quadrature (Incremental)
• Pulses per Revolution: 12 PPR
• Voltage - Supply: 5V
• Actuator Type: 1/4" Dia Flatted End
• Detent: Yes
• Built-in Switch: Yes
• Mounting Type: PCB, Through Hole
• Orientation: Vertical
• Termination Style: PC Pin
• Rotational Life: 1M cycles minimum
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 62N30-P meets all mandatory matching parameters. The primary difference between the main part and substitute lies in the series designation (62S versus 62N) and packaging configuration (PC Pin versus Bulk packaging). Both parts are manufactured by Grayhill Inc. and maintain Active product status with full compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (62S30-L9-P): The 62S30-L9-P is the recommended primary selection based on higher current inventory availability (1011 units) and RoHS Compliant certification status. This part maintains Active product status and meets all regulatory requirements including REACH Unaffected and EAR99 export classification.

Substitute Part Selection (62N30-P): The 62N30-P serves as a direct functional equivalent when the primary part is unavailable. This substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including the same 12 PPR quadrature output, 5V supply voltage, and 1/4" flatted end actuator configuration. The 62N30-P carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, which represents an enhanced RoHS compliance level. Both parts share identical REACH and ECCN classifications.

Compliance Considerations: Both parts are manufactured by Grayhill Inc. and classified under the same HTSUS code (8543.70.4500). The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) for both parts indicates no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements (PC Pin versus Bulk) and current inventory availability rather than functional or compliance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 62N30-P directly replace the 62S30-L9-P in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 62N30-P is a direct functional substitute. Both parts share identical encoder type (Optical), output type (Quadrature Incremental), PPR rating (12), supply voltage (5V), actuator configuration (1/4" Dia Flatted End), detent mechanism, built-in switch, mounting type (PCB Through Hole), orientation (Vertical), and termination style (PC Pin). Rotational life specifications and moisture sensitivity levels are also identical.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant?

A: Both certifications indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. ROHS3 represents the current version of the RoHS directive. Both the 62S30-L9-P and 62N30-P meet their respective RoHS standards and are suitable for applications requiring hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: Does packaging type affect electrical performance?

A: No. The packaging designation (PC Pin versus Bulk) refers only to the delivery and handling format. Electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical between the 62S30-L9-P and 62N30-P regardless of packaging configuration.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same PCB mounting applications?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical mounting specifications: PCB through-hole mounting with PC pin termination in vertical orientation. The 1/4" diameter flatted end actuator is standard across both parts.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating of 1?

A: MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) 1 indicates unlimited moisture sensitivity protection. Both parts require no special moisture control measures during storage, handling, or assembly processes.

Q: Can I use either part interchangeably in new designs?

A: Yes. From an engineering standpoint, both parts are functionally equivalent. Design selection can be based on current inventory availability, packaging preferences, or supply chain considerations without requiring design modifications.
