What this spacer does
The 6GT2898-2AA00 is a SIMATIC RF600 support designed to mount transponders with a size of 127 mm x 38 mm, maintaining a 12 mm distance to metal. It is specifically listed for the RF620T transponder. The spacer is made of PP (polypropylene) in anthracite color, with dimensions 155 mm depth, 38 mm width, and 12 mm height. It is mounted using two M5 screws or 2 cable clamps; the transponder snaps into place and can also be secured with screws.
Temperature range and environment
Rated for operation from -20 to +55 °C, storage and transport from -25 to +70 °C. This covers most indoor industrial environments and conditioned storage.
Lifecycle and sourcing
For a BOM line or critical spare, this spacer is a standard stocked item sourced to order. No substitution or cross-reference is needed; the 6GT2898-2AA00 is the current part.
Integration note
The 12 mm standoff from metal is critical for RF620T read range — mounting directly on a metal surface without this spacer will detune the transponder. The spacer itself is non-metallic PP, so it does not interfere with the RFID field.
