DC-DC Power Modules
Customized DC-DC Converters Explore DC-DC ConvertersRK series is a high performance, low cost, two-channel optical incremental encoder module.
It consists of a highly collimated light source and a detector IC enclosed in a small C-shaped plastic package, matched with a code disc or codestrip, it provides information of rotary or linear position.
RK series also has linear (LPI) options: 20, 45, 90, 150, 180, 300, 360.
