The Siemens 6GT2898-0AC10 is a SIMATIC RF600 wide-range voltage supply that converts 100-240 V AC single-phase input to 24 V DC at 3 A, rated output. It is designed to power SIMATIC RF readers directly at the process, with two M12 4-pin A-coded female outputs for connecting two readers without additional distribution boxes. The supply is housed in a robust cast enclosure rated IP67, meaning the electronics are sealed against dust ingress and temporary immersion — suitable for washdown zones or outdoor mounting in material handling or logistics lines.
The 3 A output at 24 V DC (rated range 0 to 3.9 A) is sized for the typical current draw of one or two RF600 readers. The 90 % efficiency means less heat dissipated in the enclosure, which matters when the supply relies on free convection cooling — no fan, so mounting orientation and ambient airflow affect thermal performance. The supply is short-circuit proof and includes permanent overvoltage protection at output (Uout nom +20 % typ). Galvanic isolation between input and output is SELV/PELV per EN 60950, so the 24 V side is safe for direct connection to reader electronics without additional isolation barriers.
The supply measures 85 mm wide, 175 mm deep, and 35 mm high, and is fastened with four M5 screws. It does not snap onto a DIN rail — it is panel-mounted via the screw holes. The input cable is a UK plug with a 2 m connecting cable; the output side uses two M12 4-pin A-coded female connectors. The IP67 rating allows direct mounting on a machine frame or conveyor stand without a separate enclosure.
