Product Description

The SMC D-A73SAPC is a perpendicular reed auto switch, a type of pneumatic position sensor. It operates on 24 V DC with a current range of 5 to 20 mA and features an M8-3Pin connector. This IP67-rated switch is designed for use with SMC actuators.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SMC D-A73SAPC reed switch used for?

The SMC D-A73SAPC is a perpendicular reed auto switch used as a pneumatic position sensor. It detects the position of a piston inside SMC actuators, providing a 24 V DC signal to a controller. Common applications include automated assembly lines, packaging machinery, and material handling systems where precise cylinder position feedback is required.

What are the specifications of the SMC D-A73SAPC?

The SMC D-A73SAPC is a perpendicular reed auto switch with an M8-3Pin connector and IP67 rating. It operates on 24 V DC with a current range of 5 to 20 mA (maximum 40 mA). The switch is designed for use with SMC actuators and provides reliable position sensing in industrial environments.

Where to buy the SMC D-A73SAPC worldwide?

You can source the SMC D-A73SAPC through 3G Electric, a global industrial equipment distributor established in 1990. We handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to worldwide destinations. Contact our team for pricing and lead time on this perpendicular reed auto switch.

How to install the SMC D-A73SAPC reed switch?

Mount the SMC D-A73SAPC perpendicular to the actuator body using the provided bracket. Connect the M8-3Pin connector to a compatible controller, ensuring 24 V DC supply. Adjust the switch position along the rail until the actuator piston triggers the reed contact at the desired stroke point. Verify operation before securing.
