August 18, 2025 – Bourns, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of electronic components for power, protection, and sensing solutions, has introduced the PEC04 Series 4 mm incremental miniature encoders, the PEC05 Series 5 mm incremental miniature encoders, and the PEC06 Model 6 mm incremental miniature encoders. These new Bourns® miniature encoders provide position and velocity information, critical for control functions in a variety of electronic applications.

The Bourns® PEC04 Series is designed for today's more compact consumer electronics, such as miniature headsets and smart wearables. The Bourns® PEC05 Series is an ideal incremental encoder solution for mouse wheels, smart appliances, and smart wearables. Additionally, the Bourns® PEC06 micro encoders are ideal for smart home appliances and lamps, helping designers enhance the reliability of the next generation of intelligent devices.
These new micro encoders offer an excellent IP40 dustproof rating, 30k, 50k, and 20k rotational cycle lifespans, respectively, and an operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C. They feature a rugged, compact surface-mount design, a 2-bit quadrature code output, and 360 degrees of continuous mechanical rotation. These features make them ideal for space-constrained consumer electronics designs.
The new Bourns® PEC04, PEC05, and PEC06 series of incremental micro encoders are available now, and all are RoHS* compliant.
