How to Select an Interface Relay for PLC Outputs
A step-by-step guide to matching PLC output type, coil voltage and current, contact rating, and socket style when selecting an interface relay.
The Siemens 6ES7971-0BA00 is a 3.6 V, 2.3 Ah backup battery for the SIMATIC S7-400 power supply modules PS 405 (4 A/10 A/20 A) and PS 407 (4 A/10 A/20 A). It replaces the depleted backup cell inside these power supplies to maintain retentive memory during a mains interruption. Net weight is 25 g, and it ships from Germany.
This battery is specified for the PS 405 and PS 407 supply families across their 4 A, 10 A and 20 A current ratings — the accessory listing ties it exclusively to S7-400 power supplies, not to other SIMATIC rack generations. Replace it as routine maintenance on an existing PS 405 or PS 407 unit rather than as a spare for a different power supply type.
Used inside SIMATIC S7-400 racks equipped with a PS 405 or PS 407 power supply, where the backup cell needs periodic replacement to keep the power supply's buffering function intact through mains interruptions.
