6ES7972-0BA52-0XA0 | Siemens | PROFIBUS Bus Connector

Description

The 6ES7972-0BA52-0XA0 is a PROFIBUS Bus Connector from the SIMATIC DP series, designed for reliable PROFIBUS network connections. It features an RS485 interface and supports a maximum data transmission rate of 12 Mbit/s, enabling high-speed industrial communication. With a 90-degree cable outlet angle, it is optimized for space-efficient installations where vertical cable routing is preferred. The connector uses a Fast-Connect insulation displacement connection method, which allows quick, tool-free cable termination without stripping insulation, reducing installation time and ensuring consistent connection quality. Notably, it does not include a PG programming device socket, making it suitable for standard node connections in PROFIBUS networks. Its compact dimensions measure 15.8x59x35.6mm (width x height x depth), allowing it to fit into tight control cabinet spaces. This bus connector is used to link PROFIBUS nodes or network components to PROFIBUS bus cables, supporting stable communication in industrial automation systems such as distributed I/O setups, PLC networks, and other PROFIBUS-based control architectures.
