It sits in the Limit and Proximity Switches category, specifically under Proximity Detection Switches — the class of part that detects the presence of a target without physical contact, typically a magnet on a pneumatic cylinder piston. ## Deployment context The M8 connector and short 0.3-meter cable suit this sensor for tight spaces on pneumatic actuators or small transfer stations where the sensor mounts directly to the cylinder body and the cable runs a short distance to a junction box or I/O module. The 24 V DC supply matches standard control-voltage rails in industrial panels.","metaTitle":"Festo SMT-C1-PS-24V-K0.3-M8-SA Proximity Sensor, 24V, 0.3m C","metaDescription":"Festo SMT-C1-PS-24V-K0.3-M8-SA proximity sensor, 24V DC, 3-pin M8 connector with 0.3m cable.

The SME-3-LED-24-K5 uses a 5-meter cable and operates on 12–27 V DC, while this sensor has a 0.3-meter cable and is fixed at 24 V DC. The M8 connector is the same 3-pin form factor, so the physical plug may fit, but the cable length difference and voltage tolerance should be verified against the application."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/festo/SMT-C1-PS-24V-K0.3-M8-SA","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/festo/SMT-C1-PS-24V-K0.3-M8-SA when reusing this data.
