MSX-360
Miniature Joystick Position Sensor
This joystick sensor packs pro-grade features into a tiny footprint (14.4mm x 16mm). Despite its lightweight build, it delivers precise control with a full 360-degree range (no dead zones!), 12-bit resolution for smooth response, and long-lasting durability. Plus, it’s built to resist electromagnetic interference and electrostatic discharge for reliable operation.
Low profile and long life cost-effective alternative to contacting solutions based in printed carbon tracks or potentiometers that are prone to wear and tear during their lifespam.
KEY FEATURES
With a ultra small weight and packaging space, this rotary sensor can be used in even the most space-constraint application.
Endless mechanical rotational angle without dead band, keeps the position on power loss with programmable electrical angles from 90 to 360 degrees.
