MEMTRON INPUT COMPONENTS
Rotor Technologies The thiNcoder
® Rotor is anultra-thin, non-invasive encoder
that enables greater design
customization.
OVERVIEW This patented rotary switch canbe incorporated into a traditional
polyester membrane switch. The
thiNcoder Rotor’s extremely low
profile results in a thinner, lighter
unit that is sealable to keep out dirt
and moisture. Not only does this
extend device life at a competitive
price, it also increases your design
capabilities.
TechnologyDescription Circuit: Example: Selector Switch Motor Speed Control Circuit: Attributes: Analog Potentiometer Used in those applications that require a singleswitch closure at each detent position. Positions can range
from 2-24 (16 position shown). Attributes: Example: Temperature Control Used in those applications that requirecontinuous output. Can be used with or without detent. Innovate. Place Rotors Where YouCouldn’t Before. • Ultra thin; non-invasive• Package thickness below overlay is lessthan 0.085"• Low component costs
• Integration eliminates secondaryassembly processes• No soldering required
• Easily integrated with other switchproduct lines including PushGate Circuit: Quadrature or Repeating 2-Bit Gray Code Attributes: Example: Volume Control Increment / Decrement switch that can beused as an encoder or rotary switch.

™ , as well as dome andmembrane switches into one thin panel• Potential for increased PCB real estateand design flexibility• No parasitic power required as withoptical
professional encoders• Multiple codes and indexing options:
- Quadrature (repeating 2-bit through 5-bit gray code) - Binary (repeating 2-bit through 5-bit code) - Analog potentiometer
- Common bus selector switch
• Low-energy circuit capable; dry circuitcompatible• Detent/stops and knobs can be customized
• Rotation life: 100,000 - flex circuit 500,000 - etched copper• Eliminates through-holes
• Push button rotor designs available
• Variety of standard knobs available orMemtron can develop a custom knob for
your application Circuit: Example: Repeating 2-Bit Binary Code Replacement for multiple push button switches Attributes: Used in those applications to select 1 of 4possible outputs, which require a defined binary output
at each detent position. FLUSH SURFACE ROTORAVAILABLE TOO!
