Mouser: Amphenol Piher MSX-360 Miniature Joystick Position Sensors
June 24, 2024
Amphenol Piher MSX-360 Miniature Joystick Position Sensors pack pro-grade features into a tiny 14.4mm x 16mm footprint.
Despite a lightweight build, the sensors deliver precise control with a full 360° range with no dead zones, 12-bit resolution for smooth response, and long-lasting durability. Built to resist electromagnetic interference and electrostatic discharge, the MSX-360 position sensors provide reliable operation.
The Amphenol Piher MSX-360 Miniature Joystick Position Sensors are a low-profile and long-life cost-effective alternative to contacting solutions based on printed carbon tracks or potentiometers prone to wear and tear during the lifespan.
FEATURES
- True, contactless operation
- Without any gears or mechanical interfaces, the sensor is easily assembled and calibrated
- Subject to limited wear and tear over the lifetime
- With ultra-small weight and packaging space, this rotary sensor can be used in even the most space-constrained applications
- A magnet is securely fastened to the integrated shaft and acts as the only moving component in the sensor
- 360° absolute position feedback enables endless mechanical rotational angle without a dead band and keeps the position on power loss with programmable electrical angles from 90° to 360°
- Analog (ratiometric) output protocol
- Self-diagnostic features
- IP67 sealing
- RoHS and REACH compliant
