Part Number / Art.-No.: 10.06.02.00049

Product Type: Electronic Vacuum Switch with Digital Switching Output

Model Designation: VS-V-D-PNP

1. Product Characteristics & Application

• Sensor Type: Electronic Pressure/Vacuum Switch

• Measuring Range: -1 to 0 bar ($-29.5\text{ to }0\text{ inHg}$)

• Overpressure Safety: Max. 5 bar ($72.5\text{ psi}$)

• Adjustment Mechanism: Features an integrated manual potentiometer screw under the yellow protective cover knob for user-defined switching point calibration.

• Special Features: A highly compact, lightweight electronic sensor designed specifically for vacuum pick-and-place systems. Ideal for automation lines handling robotic vacuum grippers, pick-and-place packaging systems, leakage monitoring, and precise parts validation during vacuum handling operations.

• Electrical Design / Output Type: DC PNP

• Switching Element Function: Digital switching output response based on the manually adjusted vacuum threshold.

• Approvals: CE Compliant

3. Performance & Protection Data

• Measurement Precision: High repeatability and precise threshold maintenance for automated safe-handling confirmation loops.

• Short-Circuit Protection (SCP): Yes

• Reverse Polarity Protection: Yes

• Response Time: Swift processing time optimized for high-speed dynamic vacuum cycles.

4. Mechanical & Environmental Data

• Housing Design: Rectangular inline compact block profile

• Housing Material: High-grade robust engineering plastic compound

• Vacuum Connection: Barbed hose nipple or threaded port configuration (visible at the bottom base).

• Ambient Operating Temperature: Standard industrial resilience profile ($0\text{ °C to }50\text{ °C}$ typical)

• Manufacturer Location: J. Schmalz GmbH | D-72293 Glatten, Germany

5. Electrical Connection & Wiring Layout

The sensor features an integrated quick-connect male plug interface terminal (top-facing under the yellow protective cover boot).

Standard Pinout Mapping (M8, 3-pin configuration typical for VS-V line):

• Pin 1: Brown wire reference (BN) → + (10.8…30 V DC Power Supply Input)

• Pin 4: Black wire reference (BK) → Digital Switching Output Signal (PNP to Load)

• Pin 3: Blue wire reference (BU) → – (0 V Ground / Common reference line)
