ABSTRACT:
An optical encoder comprises a sensor head including a light source and a photodetector and a scale that moves relative to the sensor head. The light emitted from the light source is reflected, transmitted or diffracted by the scale, and the reflected, transmitted or diffracted light is received by the photodetector to allow the sensor head to output a displacement signal. The sensor head includes a wiring substrate having electrodes formed thereon and on which the light source and photodetector are disposed at predetermined positions and a light transmitting material that covers the wiring substrate, light source, and photodetector. A side plane obtained by cutting the wiring substrate and light transmitting material at the same time in the direction substantially perpendicular to the light receiving surface of the photodetector serves as a reference position related to disposition of the components to be mounted on the wiring substrate.
