Siemens 6ES7972-0BA61-0XA0 SIMATIC DP PROFIBUS Bus Connector 35° FastConnect PLC Accessory

The Siemens 6ES7972-0BA61-0XA0 is a PROFIBUS bus connector for RS 485 networks with a 35-degree cable outlet, supporting transfer rates from 9.6 kbit/s up to 12 Mbit/s. FastConnect insulation-displacement terminals accept two-core PROFIBUS FC cable, and the connector carries an integrated, switch-selectable terminating resistor in an IP20 plastic enclosure rated for -25 to +60C, suited to panel and field DP station connections.

Selection Notes

The FastConnect insulation-displacement termination cuts wiring time versus screw-terminal PROFIBUS connectors — strip, seat, and close, with no separate crimp tool. The 35-degree cable outlet reduces bend-radius stress in tight panel and junction-box layouts compared with a straight exit. The built-in switchable terminating resistor lets this connector serve as a bus-end node without a separate terminator, provided it sits at the physical end of the segment.

Applications

Used to terminate PROFIBUS DP stations onto the bus cable in panel-mounted drives, remote I/O stations, and field devices where FastConnect wiring and a compact 35-degree exit are needed.
