Hi -
I own a Taiwanese made power supply that works well but the 2 rotary encoders for setting the voltage/current limit has a mechanical issue that bothers me. I want to replace them with something a bit more stout. The issue that I reference is that there is excess play between the mechanical detents. When wiggling the knob, the knob will deviate maybe 1/2 deg or so. Maybe my encoders are simply wore out or poor quality. I am confident that the Bourns PEC12R-4217F-N0024 would be a drop in replacement but am wondering about this 'knob' slop I refer to. Do encoder vendors specify this parameter? Does anyone have any suggestion/recommendations regarding this mechanical issue?
thanks
Jim
