This PROFIBUS connector provides reliable bus termination for RS-485-based fieldbus networks. It enables secure cable connections between PROFIBUS devices and automation controllers. We engineered the Siemens 6GK1500-0FC00 for fast and simple network installation. This connector incorporates a built-in terminating resistor for proper bus impedance matching. It ensures signal integrity at the ends of your PROFIBUS segments. Therefore, your fieldbus network operates without reflections or data corruption.
Physical Configuration and Material Composition
The Siemens 6GK1500-0FC00 features a compact 9-pin D-sub design for panel and device mounting. Its dimensions measure 58.0 mm in width, 35.0 mm in height, and 21.0 mm in depth. The connector weighs approximately 0.04 kilograms for lightweight handling. This unit includes a sturdy metal housing for enhanced mechanical protection. It incorporates a bayonet locking mechanism for secure device engagement. The connector features two cable entries for daisy-chain configuration capability.
Electrical Specifications and Termination Features
This PROFIBUS connector supports data transmission rates up to 12 Mbps. It provides a built-in switchable terminating resistor network for bus end connection. The Siemens 6GK1500-0FC00 offers proper line termination with 220 Ω pull-up and 390 Ω pull-down resistors. It employs gold-plated contacts for reliable low-resistance signal transfer. The connector ensures compliance with the PROFIBUS RS-485 electrical standard. It includes strain relief clamps for both incoming and outgoing cables. Consequently, this maintains stable network performance across the entire bus segment.
