Can this encoder be PCB mounted?

------Question for ACZ09BR2E-15KQA1-20C10P Please Put your question below------

Can this encoder be PCB mounted without using the panel mount feature?

Hello @innovation,

Welcome to the TechForum.

Certainly, just make sure to use the correct PCB footprint.

Tech Tip: The incremental encoder does not “know” its position. Unlike a potentiometer (trimmer) it cannot be set and forgotten. Consequently, it’s universally important that the user have access to the encoder.

Happy soldering.

Hello @innovation,

No bots on the forum.

I may have misunderstood your question.

Let’s talk.

I only said that because I just posted ‘thank you’ and site bot replied
to me saying that my answer needed to have alt least 11 characters :slight_smile:

That’s funny, @innovation.

Have a wonderful week.
