Incremental encoders commonly use 5-pin DIN connectors carrying power, ground, and A/B quadrature signals plus index pulse for precise position and speed measurement in motor drives and automation.
| Pin | Name | Function | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Supply voltage 5V or 12V | PWR |
| 2 | GND | Ground | GND |
| 3 | A | Channel A quadrature output | BUS |
| 4 | B | Channel B quadrature output | BUS |
| 5 | Z | Index pulse one per revolution | BUS |
