Encoder Base San

Document in Japanese Encoder Base San is a utility PCB for using Rotary Encoder. Dedicated to fit widely used 12mm size encoders such as Alps Alpine's EC12E2420801 and its compatibles.

It implements filter circuit shown on ALPS ALPINE WEBSITE and pull-up registor for switch output. Please see schematics for details.

Kit Contents

  • Circuit board
  • 1x5 pin header (Important: This kit does not include rotary encoder itself. Please use with you own rotary encoder).

How to assemble

  1. Solder pin header and rotary encoder.

Application

1x5 area can solder other connectors, directions. For example you can use pin socket, solder pin header from top side, etc., according to your demand.

It has four screw holes. They can be used for fixing, for example, when strong force is applied.

Questions

How big is the Encoder base san PCB?

It measures 30.8 × 23.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Encoder base san use?

14 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Encoder base san KiCad files?

From the kinoshita-lab/ecoder-base-san repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is encoder-base-san.kicad_pcb and its schematic encoder-base-san.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Encoder base san design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask kinoshita-lab before reusing the design.
