It is based on the standard 6ES7972-0BA12-0XA0 but adds conformal coating for use in condensing or dusty environments. Rated for PROFIBUS DP networks from 9.6 kbit/s up to 12 Mbit/s, with an integrated terminating resistor that can be switched in via a slide switch. The 90° cable outlet keeps the cable close to the panel surface, saving space in crowded cabinets. ## Environmental and Mechanical Specs The conformal coating protects against condensation and frost — the spec allows 100% RH including condensation, though commissioning in a bedewed state is not permitted. Compact footprint: 15.8 mm wide, 64 mm high, 35.6 mm deep. IP20 rated, plastic enclosure, silicon-free and RoHS compliant. The screw-lock mechanism secures the D-sub connector to the PROFIBUS station.","metaTitle":"Siemens 6AG1972-0BA12-2XA0 SIPLUS PROFIBUS Connector","metaDescription":"SIPLUS DP PROFIBUS plug, RS-485 screw terminal, 90° cable outlet, no PG port.

It adds conformal coating and is rated for a wider operating temperature range of -40 to +70 °C, making it suitable for harsh or condensing environments. The base connector design, screw termination, 90° cable outlet, and lack of a PG socket are identical."},{"question":"Is 6AG1972-0BA12-2XA0 RoHS compliant and silicon-free?","answer":"Yes. The connector is RoHS compliant and silicon-free, as specified in the product data."},{"question":"Does 6AG1972-0BA12-2XA0 have a programming port (PG socket)?","answer":"No. This connector does not include a PG programming port. If you need a PG socket, select the variant with PG."},{"question":"Can 6AG1972-0BA12-2XA0 be used as a replacement for 6ES7972-0BA12-0XA0?","answer":"Yes, it is a direct form-fit-function replacement with the same screw termination, 90° cable outlet, and D-sub interface. The SIPLUS variant adds conformal coating and extended temperature range, so it can replace the standard part in any application, including those that do not require the coating."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/6AG1972-0BA12-2XA0","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/siemens/6AG1972-0BA12-2XA0 when reusing this data.
