EVE-GA1F2012B Rotary Encoder - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EVE-GA1F2012B is a mechanical rotary encoder manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components, designed for incremental quadrature output applications. This encoder features 12 pulses per revolution with a 6mm diameter flatted end actuator, vertical PCB through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EVE-GA1F2012B is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Encoder Type: Mechanical
• Output Type: Quadrature (Incremental)
• Pulses per Revolution: 12
• Actuator Type: 6mm Dia Flatted End
• Detent: Yes
• Built in Switch: No
• Mounting Type: PCB, Through Hole
• Orientation: Vertical
• Termination Style: PC Pin
• Rotational Life: 30K cycles minimum
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The PEC12R-4115F-N0012 manufactured by Bourns Inc. meets all specified parameters and is classified as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PEC12R-4115F-N0012 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete EVE-GA1F2012B. Selection of this substitute is based on:

• Complete parameter equivalence across all mechanical and electrical specifications
• Active product status ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements
• Identical rotational life rating and moisture sensitivity classification
• Matching mechanical interface and electrical output characteristics

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PEC12R-4115F-N0012 be used as a direct replacement for the EVE-GA1F2012B?

A: Yes. Both encoders share identical specifications for encoder type, output type, pulses per revolution, actuator geometry, detent function, mounting configuration, orientation, termination style, rotational life, and moisture sensitivity level. The PEC12R-4115F-N0012 is an active product, whereas the EVE-GA1F2012B is obsolete.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution compatibility?

A: The 12 pulses per revolution, quadrature incremental output, 6mm flatted end actuator, vertical PCB through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination must remain constant. Any deviation in these parameters indicates incompatibility.

Q: Does packaging differ between these encoders?

A: The EVE-GA1F2012B is supplied in standard packaging, while the PEC12R-4115F-N0012 is supplied in tray packaging. Both are suitable for PCB assembly processes.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The PEC12R-4115F-N0012 carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Both parts share EAR99 ECCN classification and identical HTSUS codes.
