The EC204B025A provides a resolution of 25 ppr, a detent, and requires a maximum input of 5 Vdc.Similar in all other respects, the RE25NS25X is available with a 3.3 Vdc CMOS or 5 Vdc TTL input and with or without a detent. It also has a push switch built into the rotating shaft. Both components have an operating life to two million cycles. Pricing starts at $10.80 each/1,000. CUI STACK INC., (503) 643-4899, ext. 311.
