Overview
The SMC D-Y7P autoswitch cable is a solid-state proximity sensor designed for pneumatic actuators and air grippers in industrial automation. This used unit features a 0.5m pre-attached lead wire with oilproof vinyl heavy insulation and 3-wire PNP output logic, making it compatible with most PLC and controller platforms. The D-Y7P operates reliably across multiple DC voltage ranges and is ideal for OEM equipment retrofits or maintenance replacements where a proven, cost-effective switch is required.
