Sensor identity and basic fit
The Festo SMT-C1-PS-24V-K0.3-M8-SA is a proximity sensor operating at 24 V DC, terminated with a 3-pin M8 connector and a 0.3-meter cable pigtail. 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.
