What It Is and Where It Fits
The Siemens 6GT2790-0BB00 is a field-assembled connector plug for the SIMATIC RTLS4460T real-time locating system tag. It provides a 16-pin connection via WR-MPC4 crimp contacts, housed in a white Nylon 66 enclosure rated IP20. This is a customer-end assembly item — you terminate the cable yourself using a crimping tool. The 16 supplied contacts are copper tin-coated, and the housing measures 35 mm wide by 20 mm tall by 11 mm deep.
Lifecycle and Sourcing Reality
This part carries a Not Recommended for New Design (NRND) status. It remains available for existing BOM lines and service replacements, but new projects should evaluate the current RTLS connector offering from Siemens. For procurement, this means the part is sourced to order against an RFQ. No official successor order code is listed, so confirm fit with your existing RTLS4460T deployment before committing the line.
Environmental and Compliance Notes
Rated for operation, storage, and transport across -40 to +70 °C. RoHS compliant. The IP20 rating means it's suitable for dry indoor environments only — no washdown or outdoor exposure.
