Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The PEC12R-2020F-S0012 qualifies as a direct substitute for the PEC12-2020F-S0012 based on alignment across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Encoder type: Mechanical
• Output type: Quadrature (Incremental)
• Pulses per revolution: 12
• Built-in switch function: Yes

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Actuator type: 6mm Dia Flatted End
• Mounting type: PCB, Through Hole
• Orientation: Right Angle
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Rotational life minimum: 30K cycles

Compliance Parameters (Must Match or Exceed):

• RoHS status: ROHS3 Compliant

The PEC12R-2020F-S0012 maintains identical specifications across all these parameters, confirming functional and mechanical compatibility for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PEC12R-2020F-S0012 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete PEC12-2020F-S0012. The substitute part maintains active product status with Bourns Inc., ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and are functionally equivalent across all electrical and mechanical specifications. The transition from bulk to tray packaging in the substitute part represents a standard industry practice for active production components and does not affect functional performance or PCB integration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PEC12R-2020F-S0012 be used as a direct replacement for the PEC12-2020F-S0012?

A: Yes. The PEC12R-2020F-S0012 is a direct substitute. Both components share identical encoder type, output type, pulse resolution, actuator geometry, mounting configuration, and termination style. No circuit modifications or firmware adjustments are required.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. The PEC12-2020F-S0012 is obsolete, while the PEC12R-2020F-S0012 is active production. The "R" designation in the PEC12R series indicates the active variant. Packaging differs (bulk versus tray), but electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant. The PEC12R-2020F-S0012 includes REACH Unaffected status documentation, which is standard for active production components.

Q: Does the tray packaging affect installation or performance?

A: No. Packaging format is a logistics consideration only and does not impact component performance, electrical characteristics, or mechanical fit on the PCB.

Q: What parameters must match for substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution requires matching encoder type (mechanical), output type (quadrature incremental), pulse resolution (12 PPR), actuator type (6mm flatted end), mounting method (PCB through-hole), orientation (right angle), termination style (PC pin), and compliance status (ROHS3 minimum).
