D-C73C Applications
The D-C73C is the connector-type variant of the band-mounted D-C73 reed auto switch, using a separable connector/lead so the switch head can be replaced without rewiring. It detects piston position on round-body pneumatic cylinders and drives relay or PLC inputs through a 2-wire mechanical contact rated 24 VDC/100 VAC at 5-40 mA. The connector construction eases maintenance in machines where lead damage or frequent switch swaps are a concern.
