EN12-HS22AF25 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EN12-HS22AF25 is a mechanical rotary encoder manufactured by TT Electronics/BI, configured for 24 pulses per revolution with quadrature (incremental) output. This vertical-mount, through-hole component features a 6mm diameter flatted end actuator, integrated detent mechanism, and built-in switch functionality. The part is currently active in production with 849 units in stock.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part number reaches end-of-life status, inventory depletion occurs, or when design flexibility allows for functionally equivalent alternatives from qualified manufacturers. All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the EN12 and PEC12R series families.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: encoder type (mechanical), output type (quadrature incremental), pulses per revolution (24), actuator geometry (6mm diameter flatted end), detent presence, integrated switch functionality, mounting configuration (PCB through-hole), vertical orientation, PC pin termination, and minimum rotational life rating (30K cycles).

The substitute parts are grouped into two manufacturer families:

TT Electronics/BI EN12 Series: EN12-HS22AF18, EN12-HS22AF20, EN12-HS22AF30. These parts maintain identical specifications and differ only in internal construction details not affecting functional performance or pin compatibility.

Bourns Inc. PEC12R Series: PEC12R-3222F-S0024, PEC12R-4217F-S0024, PEC12R-4220F-S0024, PEC12R-4222F-S0024, PEC12R-4225F-S0024, PEC12R-4230F-S0024. These cross-manufacturer alternatives meet all electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution.
