PEC16-2115F-S0012 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PEC16-2115F-S0012 is a mechanical rotary encoder manufactured by Bourns Inc., configured for 12 pulses per revolution with quadrature (incremental) output. This encoder features a right-angle orientation, panel and PCB through-hole mounting capability, and includes a built-in switch with detent functionality. The part is currently active in production status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected classification. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling direct replacement in applications where the core functional requirements remain constant.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PEC16-2115F-S0012 are qualified based on strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Encoder Type: Mechanical
• Output Type: Quadrature (Incremental)
• Pulses per Revolution: 12
• Actuator Type: 6mm Dia Flatted End
• Detent: Yes
• Built in Switch: Yes
• Mounting Type: Panel, PCB Through Hole
• Orientation: Right Angle
• Termination Style: PC Pin
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

Substitutes are grouped by series designation and rotational life rating. The PEC16 series maintains 100K cycle minimum life, while PEC09 series variants specify 30K cycle minimum life. All substitute parts share identical electrical output characteristics and mechanical form factors, enabling functional interchangeability within applications where the rotational life specification permits.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain active production status and full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original PEC16-2115F-S0012 specification.

PEC16-2120F-S0012 is the primary substitute within the PEC16 series, maintaining the 100K rotational life specification identical to the main part while offering equivalent electrical and mechanical performance.

PEC09-2120F-S0012 and PEC09-2220F-S0012 are qualified substitutes from the PEC09 series with reduced rotational life specification of 30K cycles. These parts are suitable for applications where the lower cycle rating aligns with operational requirements and duty cycle expectations.

Selection between substitute options depends on application-specific rotational life demands and series preference. All qualified substitutes provide identical quadrature output resolution, actuator geometry, and mounting compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for the PEC16-2115F-S0012?

A: Substitution is based on matching encoder type (mechanical), output type (quadrature incremental), pulses per revolution (12), actuator type (6mm dia flatted end), detent and switch presence, mounting type (panel and PCB through hole), orientation (right angle), termination style (PC pin), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH unaffected). Rotational life rating may differ based on application requirements.

Q: What is the difference between PEC16 and PEC09 series substitutes?

A: The primary difference is rotational life specification. PEC16 series parts specify 100K cycle minimum life, while PEC09 series parts specify 30K cycle minimum life. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent. Selection depends on application duty cycle and expected operational life.

Q: Are all substitute parts pin-compatible with the main part?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use identical PC pin termination style and mounting configurations (panel and PCB through hole), ensuring direct mechanical and electrical compatibility in existing designs.

Q: Do all parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. All listed parts, including the main part and all substitutes, are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting equivalent regulatory standards for component selection.

Q: Can PEC09 series parts replace PEC16 series parts in high-cycle applications?

A: PEC09 series parts specify 30K rotational life cycles, which is lower than the PEC16 series 100K specification. Substitution is valid only when application duty cycles and expected operational life align with the 30K cycle rating.
