Product Description

The SMC D-A72 is a perpendicular reed auto switch, a type of pneumatic position sensor designed for cylinder mounting. This 2-wire reed switch operates at 200 V AC with a current range of 5 to 10 mA and carries an IP67 rating.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SMC D-A72 reed switch used for?

The SMC D-A72 is a perpendicular reed auto switch used as a pneumatic position sensor for cylinder mounting. It detects piston position in industrial automation systems, such as packaging, material handling, and assembly lines, by signaling when the cylinder reaches a specific point.

What are the specifications of the SMC D-A72?

The SMC D-A72 is a 2-wire perpendicular reed auto switch rated for 200 V AC with a current range of 5 to 10 mA. It has an IP67 rating for dust and water ingress protection, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. The manufacturer part number is D-A72.

Where to buy the SMC D-A72 worldwide?

3G Electric supplies the SMC D-A72 reed switch worldwide. As a global industrial solutions provider, we handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to your facility. Contact us for pricing and lead time on this pneumatic position sensor.

How to install the SMC D-A72 reed switch on a cylinder?

Mount the SMC D-A72 perpendicular to the cylinder body using the provided rail. Align the switch with the piston magnet, then secure it at the desired position. Connect the 2 wires to a 200 V AC control circuit, ensuring the current stays within 5 to 10 mA. Test operation before finalizing.
