Overview
The SMC D-Y7PW/DC24V is a solid state auto-switch widely used for pneumatic automation applications. This Hall-effect proximity sensor replaces mechanical reed switches in cylinder position-detection circuits. A Hall-effect (Solid-State) switch is electronic, with no moving parts to wear out, making it ideal for high-cycle industrial environments. The unit features a 10-foot (3-meter) pre-attached cable with three conductors (brown, black, blue).
Key Features
- Power supply voltage: 5, 12, 24VDC (4.5 to 28 VDC)
- Load current: 80mA or less with low current consumption of 10mA or less
- Dual LED indicator lights: Red LED for operating range detection, green LED for optimal position
- 3-wire PNP output type suitable for IC circuits, relay, and PLC logic
- CE marking, RoHS certified
- In-line grommet mounting with M2.5 x 4L adjustment screw for field calibration
Technical Specifications
- Operating time: 1ms or less
- Insulation resistance: 50MΩ or more at DC500V
- Internal voltage drop: 1.5V or less (0.8V or less at 10mA load current)
- Leakage current: 100µA or less at DC24V
- Proof voltage: AC1000V for 1 minute (lead wire, between cases)
Typical Applications
Position detection on pneumatic cylinders with magnet-mounted pistons in automation systems. Common uses include double-acting cylinder end-of-stroke detection, assembly line control, material handling equipment, and industrial press monitoring. Compatible with any SMC D-Y series compatible cylinder or pneumatic actuator using standard magnet rod mounts.
