D-C73 compatible magnetic switch for pneumatic cylinders
A D-C73 magnetic switch for detecting the piston position of a
pneumatic cylinder, supplied as a compatible (non-genuine) replacement for
the equivalent SMC D-C73 code. The switch is not manufactured by SMC: the body carries the
UKR mark. It is a drop-in replacement for the original part, matching the
published SMC specification for that code - the electrical ratings, wiring and lead options
are listed below.
Use it to confirm that a cylinder has fully extended or fully retracted, or to feed
position feedback to a PLC or relay. On a solid state version the output is an open-collector
transistor for direct connection to a PLC input; on a reed version the output is a
normally-open reed contact that needs a load connected in series with it.

Not sure this is the right switch?
Send us the code marked on the switch you are replacing, or the machine make and model,
and we will confirm the correct code before you order. The mounting style, wiring and
indicator version all differ between codes in this range and are not interchangeable
one for one.
