Grayhill 62VG11-L5-P Rotary Encoder: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Grayhill 62VG11-L5-P is an optical rotary encoder with 32 pulses per revolution, delivering quadrature (incremental) output. This vertical-mount encoder features a 1/4" diameter flatted end actuator, integrated detent mechanism, and built-in switch functionality. The component operates at 3.3V supply voltage and is mounted via PCB through-hole termination with PC pin connections.

The 62VG11-L5-P maintains Active product status and holds ROHS3 compliance certification. Substitute parts become necessary when inventory constraints occur, when alternative series variants meet application requirements, or when different pulse-per-revolution specifications are acceptable within system design parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 62VG11-L5-P is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Encoder Type: Optical
• Output Type: Quadrature (Incremental)
• Voltage - Supply: 3.3V
• 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 (Cycles Min): 1M
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

Secondary Variation Parameter:

• Pulses per Revolution: May vary based on application tolerance

The substitute parts listed below maintain all primary criteria. Variations in pulses per revolution (PPR) represent the only allowable deviation and must be evaluated against specific application resolution requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

62V11-02-P Selection Criteria:

The 62V11-02-P maintains identical specifications to the 62VG11-L5-P across all critical parameters, including 32 pulses per revolution. This part represents a direct functional equivalent. Both components hold Active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and REACH Unaffected certification. The 62V11-02-P carries higher inventory availability (1057 units versus 749 units). Selection of this substitute introduces no functional or compliance deviations.

62V15-02-P Selection Criteria:

The 62V15-02-P differs from the 62VG11-L5-P in pulses per revolution specification (24 PPR versus 32 PPR). All other electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters remain identical. This substitute is applicable only when application firmware or system design accommodates 24 pulses per revolution resolution. The 62V15-02-P maintains Active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and REACH Unaffected certification. Selection requires explicit confirmation that reduced resolution meets application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 62V11-02-P replace the 62VG11-L5-P without any modifications?

A: Yes. The 62V11-02-P is functionally equivalent across all specified parameters. No circuit modifications, firmware changes, or mechanical adjustments are required. Both components deliver 32 pulses per revolution quadrature output at 3.3V supply voltage with identical mounting and termination characteristics.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 62VG11-L5-P and 62V15-02-P?

A: The 62V15-02-P operates at 24 pulses per revolution, compared to 32 pulses per revolution for the 62VG11-L5-P. All other specifications remain identical. This difference affects system resolution and requires application-level evaluation before substitution.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The 62VG11-L5-P, 62V11-02-P, and 62V15-02-P all hold ROHS3 Compliant certification and REACH Unaffected status.

Q: What mounting configuration do these encoders use?

A: All three parts use PCB through-hole mounting with PC pin termination style. Vertical orientation is standard across all variants.

Q: Do these encoders include detent and switch functionality?

A: Yes. All three parts feature integrated detent mechanisms and built-in switch functionality.

Q: What is the minimum rotational life specification?

A: All three parts specify 1 million cycles minimum rotational life.

Q: Can I use the 62V15-02-P if my application requires 32 PPR resolution?

A: No. The 62V15-02-P delivers 24 pulses per revolution. Use only if your application design accepts 24 PPR resolution. The 62V11-02-P provides the required 32 PPR specification as a direct equivalent to the 62VG11-L5-P.
