## Description

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. Key Features 24 Pulses Per Revolution – Detented rotation with tactile click at each step Built-In Push Button – Normally-open switch activated by pressing the knob Panel Mountable – Threaded shaft for enclosure installation Breadboard Compatible – Fits a breadboard after trimming the mounting tabs Soft-Touch Knob Included – Arrow indicator for visual position reference 5-Pin Output – 3 pins for encoder (ground + 2 coding pins), 2 pins for push button Ideal For Menu navigation and value selection interfaces Volume and parameter controls Scrolling and rotational input for microcontroller projects Package Contents 1× Rotary Encoder (24-pulse, with push button) 1× Soft-Touch Knob with arrow indicator
