The small-format and strikingly compact encoder ESC17 mini is based on the Hall principle. If required, the rotary encoder can also be executed by an integrated pushbutton function. Due to the magnetic detection of the rotary movement and button signals the ESC17 mini is almost wear-free. The ball latch used with 16 locking positions provides pleasant haptic feedback and has been proven in a great number and variety of projects. Depending on the latching force a service life of several 100,000 revolutions can be realized for the ESC17 mini. The protection from electrostatic discharges in installed condition is realized by a massive pin to the grounding.
