PIHER North America (Libertyville, IL) offers the PS15 rotary position sensor in a 15-mm package. It is surface-mountable for detecting changes in angle and position, and converting them to a voltage output. It can be processed by standard automated placement equipment and reflow soldered. The sensor is available with seven different rotor designs and 15 shaft styles, with a choice of nine colors in standard or UL94-compatible plastic. An optional detent feature provides customization. Detents add a “click” sensation for each unique position without affecting the sensor specification or output. Up to 27 different detent configurations can be designed anywhere in the electrical rotation.
