pay_c Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 Hi there?Has anybody some datasheet or at least the measurements of those ALPS Encoders? ALPS STEC16B03 to be exact...Thnx in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven_C Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 I got two "EC16B" encoders from farnell (expensive) 733-751 (24ppr, detented, I pulled one apart to find this out!! and subsequently modified it into a non-detented type!), and when I ordered them, they told me that they were a discontinued item, so check you can still get them before designing your box!! anyway, the actual shaft is a funny size, not 6.35mm diameter (1/4"), like every other pot shaft I have ever seen, but 6mm diameter, making the knobs I used run slightly off center! (still works ok) I saw a good datasheet on the net somewhere, but I can't remember where!! anyway, the main body of the encoder is 16mm wide, and 21mm long, including all the protrusions (a pokey bit is meant to go into another tiny hole to stop the whole encoder from spinning around, but I filed this bit off). 9mm mounting hole, the body ("square") part is 6.5-7.5 mm thick, depending on whether you have vertical or horizontal version. I hope this helps (you may find data on Farnell website?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Hastings Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 This comes from RS-Components: ALPS STEC16B (order nr 265-1723)cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pay_c Posted June 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 That little 2mm nipple under the shaft: Can you remove it? Plastic or metall?Thnx btw! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriss Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 hi pay_c,the point with these encoders is that alps has made different versions of them, i guess depending where you live. i got mine from schuricht in germany and they don´t have a nipple underneath the schaft. But the pinout compared to the official datasheet from there site is different though. thats why thorsten always has the little extra drawing for the alps stecB on his din_in pdf´s. The datasheet posted above is absolutly correct.chriss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven_C Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 I filed it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
