The Siemens 3RK1901-2NR10 is an AS-Interface M12 branch that transitions the AS-i flat cable to a single M12 socket — no auxiliary power (U_ASI only). It uses an insulation-piercing method for the flat cable, so you don't strip or terminate individual conductors; the branch clamps directly onto the AS-i ribbon. Rated for 4 A continuous and the full AS-i voltage range of 26.5 to 31.6 V, it's built for the washdown zone with IP67/68/69K sealing. The screw-fixing mount holds it in place on a panel or machine frame, and the cable must not end in the feeder — meaning the flat cable runs through the branch and continues to the next drop, not dead-ending here.

Product details
Frequently asked questions
What is the function of the 3RK1901-2NR10?
Its function is an AS-i flat cable transition to M12 — it provides a single M12 socket for connecting an AS-Interface device to the flat cable using an insulation-piercing method, without needing auxiliary power.
What does the note 'cable must not end in the feeder' mean?
It means the AS-i flat cable must pass through this branch and continue to the next device — the branch is a pass-through tap, not a termination point. The cable should not dead-end here.
How do I get current pricing and availability for 3RK1901-2NR10?
