The difference between the 102 and 103 is the angle that the connector 
comes out of the
encoder body.  Electrically, they are the same.

The USC inputs are TI logic level translator chips, I don't think they 
have any
hysteresis.  There are no pull-ups or pull-downs.  For open-collector 
encoders
you need to provide pull-up resistors.

No pull-up or hysteresis.  PNP transistor collector is grounded, base is 
connected to
encoder signal with 4.7K resistor, emitter goes to cathode of 
opto-isolator LED.
Anode of LED goes to +5V through resistor.
