Product details

The Festo SMEO-1-LED-230-B is a magnetic reed proximity sensor rated for 230 V AC / 200 V DC with a switching capacity of 40 W. The normally open output switches at up to 500 Hz, making it suitable for position sensing on pneumatic actuators where the reed element detects the piston magnet through the cylinder wall.

The 40 W switching capacity limits the direct load to small relays or PLC inputs — do not drive a contactor coil or solenoid valve directly from this sensor without an interposing relay. The 250 mA AC / 120 mA DC maximum operating current confirms this is a signal-level device, not a power switch. IP67 enclosure means the sensor body and the 2 m PVC cable entry withstand washdown and dust ingress — suitable for food-and-bev or wet-area cylinder sensing where the sensor sees occasional spray. The magnetic reed principle is contact-based; switching frequency is capped at 500 Hz. For high-cycle applications (over 500 actuations per second), a solid-state proximity switch would be a better fit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source for SMEO-1-LED-230-B?

The SMEO-1-LED-24 is the closest peer: same magnetic reed principle, 40 W switching capacity, 500 Hz switching frequency, and normally open output. The key difference is operating voltage — the -24 variant runs on 12–27 V AC/DC, while the -230-B is designed for 230 V AC / 200 V DC. The -24 also has a smaller housing (15.5 x 14 x 34 mm) and a 2.5 m cable versus the -230-B's 23 x 16 x 34 mm body and 2 m cable. They are not drop-in interchangeable without checking voltage and mounting space.

Where can I buy SMEO-1-LED-230-B?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

Will SMEO-1-LED-230-B drop into a panel specified around SMEO-1-LED-24 without rewiring?

Not without checking. The -230-B runs on 230 V AC / 200 V DC, while the -24 is rated for 12–27 V AC/DC. The housing dimensions also differ: the -230-B measures 23 x 16 x 34 mm versus the -24's 15.5 x 14 x 34 mm, so the mounting footprint is larger. The cable is 2 m on the -230-B versus 2.5 m on the -24. Verify voltage compatibility and physical space before substitution.
