Siemens 6ES7972-0BB61-0XA0 PROFIBUS Bus Connector 35 Degree FastConnect PLC Accessory

The Siemens 6ES7972-0BB61-0XA0 is a PROFIBUS bus connector with FastConnect insulation-displacement terminals and a 35 degree cable outlet, used to connect PROFIBUS DP stations to the bus cable at transfer rates from 9.6 kbit/s up to 12 Mbit/s. It terminates two PROFIBUS cables via IDC contacts and provides a 9-pin Sub-D port with an integrated programming socket.

Selection Notes

The 35 degree cable outlet keeps the connector profile low against the PROFIBUS station housing, which matters in cabinets with tight DIN-rail spacing compared to straight or 90 degree outlet variants in the same connector family. FastConnect insulation-displacement termination avoids stripping and crimping individual conductors, cutting assembly time on multi-drop PROFIBUS DP segments.

Applications

Terminates SIMATIC S7-300/S7-400 and distributed I/O PROFIBUS DP stations onto the bus cable, with the integrated programming port letting a PG/PC tap into the segment without breaking the bus connection.
