What it is and where it fits
The Siemens 6SL3162-1AA01-0AX0 is a SINAMICS S120 Booksize Control Supply Module with an X1 plug connector. It belongs to the SINAMICS S120 drive family and sits in the control cabinet supplying the control electronics for the drive system. This part carries a mature lifecycle status, meaning it is an established, active product in Siemens' portfolio — not a new introduction, but still in regular production and support.
Sourcing and lifecycle reality
Product class D (made to order / customer's specifications, requiring engineering services) means this module is typically configured and built to a specific order, not a standard off-the-shelf item. Expect that lead times and pricing are confirmed at the time of RFQ, not from a shelf. The module is RoHS compliant and carries REACH Article 33 duty-to-inform documentation, meeting EU substance restrictions for industrial equipment.
Compliance and documentation
Export control classification is AL: N / ECCN: N, meaning no special export license is required for most destinations. Group code R2SC and product group 9485 are Siemens internal classification codes used for ordering and catalog lookup.
