What this connector does in an S7-400 rack
The Siemens 6ES7922-4BD20-5AD0 is a 48-pole front connector for SIMATIC S7-400 digital I/O modules, delivering 46 signal cores via a 3.2 m pre-wired cable with screw-type terminals on the enclosure end.
Wiring and signal routing
Each of the 46 single cores is 0.5 mm² H05V-K wire, numbered consecutively from 3 to 48, with a blue PVC sheath (RAL 5010). The 48th pole on the connector is the 48th core; the first two positions are unused in this variant. Rated for 24 V nominal with a maximum of 30 V, this connector is suited for digital I/O signals — not analog transmission. The screw terminals accept field wiring on the enclosure side.
This front connector is in mature production. No official replacement or cross-reference is listed — confirm the BOM position count and mating module before committing.
