Adjustable trip class (CLASS 10 and 20) lets you match the thermal overload curve to the motor start profile: Class 10 for fast-starting loads like centrifugal pumps, Class 20 for higher-inertia loads such as fans or crushers where the start current duration exceeds 10 seconds. ## IO-Link integration and wiring flexibility Built-in IO-Link at COM2 (38.4 kBaud) gives the starter direct parameter access and diagnostics over a standard M12 connection — you can read motor current, trip counts, and thermal capacity utilization without running additional sensor cables back to the PLC. The 24 V DC control supply is separate from the main power circuit, so the IO-Link communication stays live even when the motor contactor is off. Five integrated LEDs provide local status indication for power, communication, and fault conditions — useful during commissioning or line-side troubleshooting without needing a handheld tool. ## Mounting and environmental tolerance Mounts on standard DIN rail (35 mm) with screw and snap-on fastening — the 90 mm width and 170 mm height fit a standard 200 mm deep enclosure with room for cable bending. Any mounting position is permitted, though vertical orientation on horizontal DIN rail is recommended for optimal heat dissipation. Operating temperature range of -20 to +60 °C covers most indoor panel environments; storage and transport tolerance from -55 to +80 °C means the unit can sit in an unheated warehouse or ship in non-climate-controlled freight without damage. Rated for shock resistance of 60 m/s² (6g) and vibration per IEC 60068-2-6 (10 cycles, 4–500 Hz at 20 m/s²) — suitable for installation on machine-mounted sub-panels near rotating equipment or conveyors.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RA6500-1DB42 SIRIUS Compact Starter, 12 A, 53 kA","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RA6500-1DB42 SIRIUS compact reversing starter, 12 A at 400 V AC, 53 kA breaking capacity, IO-Link, adjustable trip class 10/20.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":null,"categoryPath":["Motor Starters"],"specifications":{"Depth":"165 mm","Solid":"0.5 ... 4 mm², 2x (0.5 ... 2.5 mm²)","Width":"90 mm","at DC":"24 ... 24 V","title":"3RA6500-1DB42","Height":"170 mm","at 400 V":"53 kA","Trip Class":"CLASS 10 and 20 adjustable","Recommended":"vertical, on horizontal standard DIN rail","description":"SIRIUS Compact load feeder Reversing starter for IO-Link 690 V 24 V DC 3...12 A IP20 Connection main circuit: Screw terminal Connection control circuit: screw terminal","at DC maximum":"2.9 W","During Storage":"-55 ... +80 °C","number of LEDs":"5","Type Of Voltage":"DC","lifecycle_stage":"current","During Operation":"-20 ... +60 °C","During Transport":"-55 ... +80 °C","Fastening Method":"screw and snap-on mounting","IO-Link protocol":"Yes","Shock Resistance":"a=60 m/s2 (6g) with 10 ms per 3 shocks in all axes","Mounting Position":"any","at DC rated value":"24 V","Product Brand Name":"SIRIUS","Type Of Assignment":"continous operation according to IEC 60947-6-2","Degree Of Pollution":"3","Product Designation":"Compact starter for IO-Link","Vibration Resistance":"f= 4 ... 5.8 Hz, d= 15 mm;
