Rotary Encoder + Extras
We have ✅ 1 available of the AF-377 in our Sydney warehouse. An extra 100 units available with a short lead time.
This high-quality 24-pulse rotary encoder features detented rotation with a satisfying click at each step, a built-in push-button switch, and a panel-mount design. It comes with a soft-touch knob with an arrow indicator, making it a complete input solution for projects requiring rotational selection or scrolling.
Unlike potentiometers, rotary encoders rotate continuously with no end stops and do not report an absolute position. Instead, each clockwise or counterclockwise click triggers two switch outputs that a microcontroller can count to track relative rotation. The built-in normally-open push button activates when you press down on the knob. The encoder can also be used in a breadboard by cutting or bending the two mechanical mounting tabs.
