The 24 V DC control voltage is standard for PLC-driven panels; the IO-Link COM2 (38.4 kBaud) interface gives the PLC direct access to the starter's diagnostics, current draw, and trip status without extra wiring. Dimensions are 170 mm high, 90 mm wide, 165 mm deep, so it fits a standard 200 mm deep enclosure without crowding the door. Rated for pollution degree 3 (industrial environment with conductive dust or moisture), operating temperature -20 to +60 °C, and storage/transport -55 to +80 °C. Shock resistance is 6g for 10 ms per 3 shocks in all axes; vibration resistance covers 4 to 5.8 Hz at 15 mm amplitude and 5.8 to 500 Hz at 20 m/s² for 10 cycles — suitable for conveyor lines and machine tools. ## Motor power and breaking capacity across voltages At 400 V, the starter handles 5.5 kW (7.5 hp) motor loads. At 480 V it's rated 12 A continuous; at 600 V also 12 A. No-load switching frequency is 3,600 operations per hour — fine for frequent start/stop cycles on material handling. Power dissipation at DC control is 2.9 W, negligible for panel thermal budgeting. Five LED indicators on the front give local status of run, fault, and IO-Link communication without opening the panel.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RA6500-1DB43 SIRIUS Compact Starter, 12 A, 400 V","metaDescription":"Siemens SIRIUS 3RA6500-1DB43 reversing compact motor starter, 12 A at 400 V AC, 53 kA breaking capacity, adjustable Class 10/20, IO-Link COM2.","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":"3RA6500-1DB43","Height":"170 mm","at 400 V":"53 kA","Trip Class":"CLASS 10 and 20 adjustable","Recommended":"vertical, on horizontal standard mounting rail","description":"SIRIUS Compact load feeder Reversing starter for IO-Link 690 V 24 V DC 3...12 A IP20 Connection main circuit: plug-in, without terminals 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;
