H-option (Hole In Cover)

The H-option adds a hole in the cover for the shaft to pass through:

  • For shaft diameters of 1.5mm to 1/8", a 0.170" hole is supplied.
  • For shaft diameters of 5/32" to 1/4", a 0.295" hole is supplied.

M-option (Metric Mounting Screws)

Provides alternate metric M2.5x.45mm, length 6mm screws. When M-option is NOT specified the default is #3-48 x 1/4" screws.

T-option (Transfer Adhesive)

When mounting holes are not available, a pre-applied transfer adhesive (with peel-off backing) is available for "stick-on" mounting. Use the centering tool (above) to position the base. T-option specifies transfer adhesive.

Before installation, cleaning the mounting surface with alcohol is recommended to remove dust and oil.

1. Centering Tool

The centering tool is only included with the -3 packaging option. It has to be ordered separately for other package options.

Part #: MCTOOL - (Shaft Diameter)
Description: This reusable tool provides a simple method for accurately centering the E4P base onto the shaft. A centering tool is highly recommended when using the T-option transfer adhesive.

2. Spacer Tool

A spacer tool is included for all packaging options.

Part #: SPACER-E4P
Description: This reusable tool is used to properly space the codewheel from the encoder.

Title Date Description Download
E4 - E4P - S4 Update - PCN 1014 11/29/2011 We have modifed the E4, E4P and S4 product lines in order to improve the performance and durability of the encoder. Changes include new molds for the plastic base and cover parts with an over-molded bushing in the S4 base, a new SMT connector (compatible with current mating connector)and a modified PCB profile to accommodate the new connector and plastic part modifications.

Product Description

Restriction of Hazardous Substances

On January 16, 2012, the E4P part number was modified.
Please see the E4P Part Number Change notification for more information. 

The E4P miniature encoder is designed to provide digital quadrature encoder feedback for high volume applications with limited space constraints. The E4P version utilizes an innovative, patented push-on codewheel which accepts shaft diameters of 1.5mm to .250". 

The E4P encoder is the leader for high quantity OEM applications, but the E4 is the ideal choice when a set-screw codewheel encoder is required (see the E4 page).  

The E4P miniature encoder base provides mounting holes for two #3-48, length 1/4" or two M2.5x.45mm, length 6mm screws on a .586" bolt circle. When  mounting holes are not available, a pre-applied transfer adhesive (with peel-off backing) is available for "stick-on" mounting.

The encoder cover is easily snapped onto the base and is embossed with the connector pin-out.

The E4P series encoder can be connected by using a (high retention 4-conductor snap-in polarized 1.25mm pitch) connector. Mating cables and connectors (see the Cables / Connectors web page) are not included, and are available separately.

Product Notes
  • Cables and connectors are not included and must be ordered separately.
  • US Digital warrants its products against defects in materials and workmanship for two years. See complete warranty for details.
