PEC12-4230F-S0024 Rotary Encoder Mechanical 24PPR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PEC12-4230F-S0024 is a mechanical rotary encoder manufactured by Bourns Inc., classified as a quadrature (incremental) encoder with 24 pulses per revolution. This component features a 6mm diameter flatted end actuator, integrated detent mechanism, and built-in switch functionality, designed for vertical PCB through-hole mounting with PC pin termination.

The PEC12-4230F-S0024 carries an obsolete product status. Direct equivalents and compatible substitutes from the active PEC12R series are available to maintain design continuity and ensure supply chain reliability for applications requiring this encoder specification.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PEC12-4230F-S0024 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

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: PCB, Through Hole
Orientation: Vertical
Termination Style: PC Pin
Rotational Life (Cycles Min): 30K
RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The primary substitute is the PEC12R-4230F-S0024, which maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while transitioning from the obsolete PEC12 series to the active PEC12R series. Additional compatible alternatives include PEC12R-3222F-S0024 and PEC12R-4217F-S0024, which share all critical parameters with the original part.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications currently using the obsolete PEC12-4230F-S0024, the PEC12R-4230F-S0024 is the direct functional equivalent. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved supply availability. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry equivalent rotational life ratings of 30K cycles minimum.

The PEC12R-3222F-S0024 and PEC12R-4217F-S0024 provide additional alternatives with identical 24 PPR specifications and all matching mechanical parameters. Selection among these three active alternatives depends on packaging requirements and inventory availability, as all three meet the electrical and mechanical criteria for direct substitution.

All recommended substitutes are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and carry active product status, ensuring long-term supply chain stability compared to the obsolete original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PEC12R-4230F-S0024 directly replace PEC12-4230F-S0024 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The PEC12R-4230F-S0024 maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters: 24 PPR output, mechanical encoder type, quadrature incremental output, 6mm flatted end actuator, detent mechanism, integrated switch, vertical PCB through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, and 30K minimum rotational life. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the difference between PEC12R-4230F-S0024, PEC12R-3222F-S0024, and PEC12R-4217F-S0024?

A: All three parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications required for substitution: 24 PPR, mechanical encoder type, quadrature output, 6mm flatted end actuator, detent, integrated switch, vertical PCB through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, and 30K rotational life. Differences exist in internal component configurations not affecting functional equivalence. Selection is based on packaging availability and inventory status.

Q: Are there 12 PPR alternatives available?

A: The PEC12R series includes multiple 12 PPR variants (PEC12R-4117F-S0012, PEC12R-4120F-S0012, PEC12R-4125F-S0012, PEC12R-4130F-S0012, PEC12R-4217F-S0012, PEC12R-4220F-S0012). These are not direct substitutes for the 24 PPR PEC12-4230F-S0024, as pulses per revolution is a critical functional parameter that must match application requirements.

Q: What packaging is available for substitute parts?

A: All active PEC12R series substitutes are supplied in Tray packaging. The original PEC12-4230F-S0024 packaging specification was not provided in the technical data.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The PEC12R-4230F-S0024, PEC12R-3222F-S0024, and PEC12R-4217F-S0024 are all ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original PEC12-4230F-S0024.
