## Overview

The Cylewet 5Pcs KY-040 Rotary Encoder Module pack offers 20 pulses per rotation at a 5V working voltage, featuring a durable aluminum alloy knob (15×16.5mm) and an integrated reset button. Compatible with Arduino and low-voltage projects down to 1.2V, these encoders provide glitch-free, reliable pulse counting with panel mount capabilities, making them a must-have for professional-grade electronics prototyping.

## Description

One round number of pulse: 20 Working voltage: 5V The rotary encoder can count the number of pulse output during rotation in the positive direction and reverse direction through the rotation and this rotation counts are not limited. With the key on the rotary encoder, you can reset to the initial state, that is, counting from 0. The Material of Knob Cap: aluminium alloy The Specification of Knob Cap: diameter: 15mm/ 0.59in; height: 16.5mm/ 0.65in Package Includes: 5× Rotary Encoder Module 5× Potentiometer cap

Review: Very much a value add to your projects. - Very good product for the price point. Knobs are good quality and fit the encoder well. With the threaded shaft, the encoder has panel mount capabilities. All hardware was included and everything works fine. Soldering on the board is good, and I don't expect to have any issues with these. I have implemented 2 of these into my design with no issues. Plus I have 3 more for my next project.
Review: Works reliably down to 1.2 VDC. I am exceptionally happy with tis product! - Checked all 5 on the scope. They all worked reliably down to 1.2V. (The product description says 5V), my projects usually run at 3.3V or 2.2V for NiMH battery powered. There is no ringing or glitching on the Clock, Data, or Button Data signals. (No need to de-bounce or worry about false data). My Fluke couldn't read any idle current, so it is less than 10uA. All lines are normally high. Pressing the button does not change the Clock or Data lines. Data is valid on Falling or Rising edge of the clock. Although, the data line is stable for a longer period of time when using the falling edge of the clock. There is one clock pule per indent on the shaft. Turning Clock-Wise. and using the falling edge, data is high. Turning Counter Clock-Wise. and using the falling edge, data is low. (Data level is reversed if you are using the rising edge of the clock. So, this is perfect for any project running from 2.2V to 5V. I am exceptionally happy with this product!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reasonable little encoder. Nothing special, but nothing wrong.
*by A***Y on November 19, 2018*

I've been testing these now for a few days on my bench and they seem reliable. The action is smooth, with reasonably noticeable detent points. There are two steps per detent in the output. Markings on the pins are CLK, D0, SW, VCC, GND. CLK and D0 are the A and B pins. The switch is active low as delivered. The knob is ok, though it is only a press-fit. The pic is a little deceiving in that the end of the pot makes it look like a really high quality knob but the sides are the same plastic you get on most knobs. Taking one star for the knob quality.
