A New range of illuminated rotary encoders and matching translucent control knobs have been released by Cliff Electronics. The new range has the potential to replace conventional analogue potentiometers for audio, instrumentation and industrial control functions as they offer more accurate, repeatable setting.
The devices features LED illuminated spindles to provide visible indication of panel position or function. Standard LED colours available are blue, green and red.
The company is now manufacturing a wide range of customisable translucent control knobs in its UK factory plus 8 solid colours. The new range of translucent control knobs is available to fit standard pot and encoder shafts.
The rotary encoder range provides an output of 24 pulse/24 clicks and features a 24mm shaft with “flats” of 15/17.5/20/25/30mm available. Switch contacts are rated at 5VDC/0.5mA and the operating temperature range is -40 to 85ºC making them ideal for industrial control applications.
Typical applications include audio, broadcast, industrial control, medical and telecoms equipment and many types of portable devices.
