Components & Parts / Rotary Encoders

Here's a new addition to our rotary-potentiometer-knob family. This knob has a nice soft-touch feel with an arrow on it, and its much 'slimmer' than the skirted knob we have been using, so good for compact layouts. Note: This is just the knob. We have a breadboard-friendly rotary encoder here. Rotary encoders are useful as rotation sensors or selectors and look...

For projects that need a rotary encoder but need to keep it single-sided or need to avoid interrupting traces or devices on the other side, here's an all-SMT rotary encoder! It's a high-quality 30-detents encoder from Alps, with detents and a nice feel. There's a nice smooth bushing for placement in a box. Knob not included, but you can pick one up here. This encoder...

This rotary encoder is the best of the best, it's a high-quality 24-pulse encoder, with detents and a nice feel. It is panel mountable for placement in a box, or you can plug it into a breadboard (just cut/bend the two mechanical side tabs.) We also include a nice soft-touch knob with an arrow in it, fits perfectly and looks great. This encoder also has a push-button...
