Product Description

The SMC D-F79SAPC is an Inline Solid State Auto Switch, a type of solid-state switch pneumatic position sensor. It features an NPN output, M8-3Pin connector, and 3 wires, with a maximum load current of 40 mA or less and a supply voltage of 28 V DC or less. This sensor is rated IP67.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SMC D-F79SAPC used for?

The SMC D-F79SAPC is an inline solid state auto switch used as a pneumatic position sensor in industrial automation. It detects cylinder piston position and outputs an NPN signal to a PLC or controller. Common applications include packaging, material handling, and assembly lines where reliable, non-contact sensing is required.

What are the specifications of the SMC D-F79SAPC?

The SMC D-F79SAPC is an inline solid state auto switch with NPN output, M8-3Pin connector, and 3 wires. It has a maximum load current of 40 mA or less and a supply voltage of 28 V DC or less. The sensor is rated IP67 for dust and water ingress protection.

Where to buy the SMC D-F79SAPC worldwide?

You can source the SMC D-F79SAPC through 3G Electric, a global industrial equipment distributor. We handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to worldwide destinations. Contact us for availability and lead time; we provide competitive pricing and reliable sourcing for this SMC solid state switch.

How to install the SMC D-F79SAPC?

To install the SMC D-F79SAPC, mount the switch inline on the pneumatic cylinder using the provided bracket. Connect the M8-3Pin connector to a compatible cable, ensuring correct wiring for NPN output (typically brown for V+, blue for V-, black for output). Verify supply voltage does not exceed 28 V DC and load current stays under 40 mA.
