PEC11-4215F-S0024 Rotary Encoder Mechanical 24PPR Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The PEC11-4215F-S0024 is a mechanical rotary encoder manufactured by Bourns Inc., classified as a 24 pulses per revolution (PPR) quadrature incremental encoder with vertical orientation and panel/PCB through-hole mounting. The part is currently listed as obsolete, which necessitates identification of equivalent and substitute components for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. Active alternative models within the PEC11 series provide functional equivalency while maintaining compatibility with existing mechanical and electrical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution eligibility for the PEC11-4215F-S0024 is determined by the following critical parameters:
Primary Substitution Criteria (Must Match):
- Encoder Type: Mechanical
- Output Type: Quadrature (Incremental)
- Pulses per Revolution: 24
- Actuator Type: 6mm Dia Flatted End
- Detent: Yes
- Built-in Switch: Yes
- Mounting Type: Panel, PCB Through Hole
- Orientation: Vertical
- Termination Style: PC Pin
Direct Equivalent: The PEC11R-4215F-S0024 is a direct equivalent substitute. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved availability (7617 units in stock versus 1052 units for the obsolete original).
Secondary Substitutes (Parameter Variations): Parts from the PEC11H series (PEC11H-4215F-S0024) provide mechanical and electrical compatibility with the exception of rotational life specification (100K cycles versus 30K cycles for the original). The PEC11H-4215F-S0024 shares all other critical parameters including 24 PPR output, vertical orientation, and identical actuator and mounting specifications.
Parts with differing pulses per revolution (15 PPR, 16 PPR, 20 PPR) are listed as similar alternatives only and require application-level verification before substitution, as PPR directly affects encoder resolution and signal frequency.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
Primary Selection: PEC11R-4215F-S0024
The PEC11R-4215F-S0024 is the recommended direct substitute for the obsolete PEC11-4215F-S0024. This part maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility across all specified parameters. The PEC11R variant is in active product status with ROHS3 compliance certification and significantly higher inventory availability (7617 units). Tray packaging is standard for this active variant.
Alternative Selection: PEC11H-4215F-S0024
The PEC11H-4215F-S0024 provides an alternative option with enhanced rotational life specification (100K cycles versus 30K cycles). This part is suitable for applications requiring extended operational durability. All other mechanical and electrical parameters remain identical to the original specification. This variant is also in active product status with ROHS3 compliance and adequate inventory (1955 units).
Compliance Status:
Both recommended substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance, matching the environmental and regulatory requirements of the original part. No additional compliance verification is required for standard industrial applications.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the PEC11R-4215F-S0024 be used as a direct replacement for the PEC11-4215F-S0024?
A: Yes. The PEC11R-4215F-S0024 is a direct equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. All parameters including PPR, actuator type, mounting configuration, and termination style match the original part. The primary advantage is active product status and higher availability.
Q: What is the difference between the PEC11R-4215F-S0024 and PEC11H-4215F-S0024?
A: Both parts share identical 24 PPR output, vertical orientation, and mounting specifications. The primary difference is rotational life: the PEC11H variant is rated for 100K cycles compared to 30K cycles for the PEC11R variant. The PEC11H uses a ball/spring detent mechanism, while the PEC11R uses a standard detent mechanism. Selection depends on application duty cycle requirements.
Q: Are the packaging formats interchangeable?
A: The original PEC11-4215F-S0024 packaging format is not specified in the documentation. Both substitute parts are supplied in Tray packaging, which is standard for active production variants. Tray packaging is compatible with standard component handling and assembly processes.
Q: Can parts with different PPR values (15, 16, 20 PPR) substitute for the 24 PPR original?
A: No. Pulses per revolution directly determines encoder resolution and output signal frequency. Parts with differing PPR values (PEC11D series at 15 PPR, PEC11H series at 16 or 20 PPR) are not direct substitutes and require application-level circuit and firmware verification before use.
Q: What is the inventory status for long-term procurement?
A: The PEC11R-4215F-S0024 has the highest availability at 7617 units in stock. The PEC11H-4215F-S0024 has 1955 units available. Both parts are in active product status, ensuring continued availability for future procurement cycles.
Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. Both the PEC11R-4215F-S0024 and PEC11H-4215F-S0024 are ROHS3 compliant, matching the environmental compliance status of the original obsolete part.
