The Siemens 6GT2898-5AA00 is a fixing hood for the RF645T transponder, part of the SIMATIC RF600 identification system. It holds the transponder longitudinally in the holder, aligning it for consistent read performance in RFID gates or conveyor-side mounting points. Molded from PA 6.6 GF (glass-fiber reinforced polyamide), the housing measures 79 mm wide by 39.4 mm deep by 15.4 mm tall. The full temperature range — storage, transport, and operation — spans -40 to +85 °C, so it survives hot washdown zones and cold storage environments without cracking. Color is black, which is the standard for the RF600 accessory line and matches the transponder body for visual consistency in the field.
Minimum order quantity is 20 units per the description, so plan batch purchases accordingly.
Integration Note
This is a mechanical accessory — no wiring, no electrical ratings, no IP protection class listed. It mounts the RF645T transponder in a fixed orientation; the panel or bracket it attaches to is the responsibility of the system designer. The 39.4 mm depth and 79 mm width fit within the footprint of a standard DIN-rail enclosure if you are integrating into a control cabinet, but the hood itself does not snap onto DIN rail.
