The P11159-01AS is supplied in a compact package with a positioning pin for easy alignment. Additionally the package is suitable for lead-free flow soldering making it ideal for a wide range of applications where high resolution rotary or linear encoders are required.
Hamamatsu Photonics Encoder Module
Hamamatsu Photonics introduce the P11159-01AS, a small, high resolution encoder module. This new optical encoder incorporates a 4 element photo IC and red LED, with a 2-phase digital signal output circuit. When using 0.2mm pitch slits, the P11159-01AS produces a 2-phase digital signal output that matches the slit movement. A high resolution of 50µm is achievable.
