What ships in the slot
The Siemens 6SL5120-1UE23-0SC0 is a single motor module in the SINAMICS S220 booksize family: DC-link input 495–720 V, three-phase output 0–480 V at 30 A, and a 15 kW rated power figure that sizes the continuous motor shaft load this slot will drive from FW V5.2 SP3 HF10 onwards. The mechanical envelope is booksize C with internal air cooling only — IP20 means the cabinet, not the module, carries the sealing duty, so the cabinet's filtered-air path and the module's clearances set the real thermal margin. For panel-build planning, the 365.00 x 565.00 x 60.00 mm packaging footprint tells you the slot depth on the rack and the room the cabinet must leave around the heatsink for the airflow path.
Ratings in plain language
495–720 V DC at the input reflects a common DC-bus architecture on the S220 line — the drive does not rectify mains itself, it sits downstream of a separate line module that builds the bus, which is the deciding factor when matching it to a rectifier or infeed unit in the same cabinet. 30 A output at 0–480 V 3AC is the AC-3-class continuous figure the 15 kW rating is derived from; the output current ceiling, not the power number, is what trips a motor-side overload when the load profile is duty-cycled.
Compliance paperwork that has to be clean
Export classification is AL: N / ECCN: 3A999A, which sets the customs lane and the screening step for cross-border paperwork; landed-cost maths depend on this staying current at the time of shipment.
Lifecycle posture
Lifecycle status is recorded as active and current, with no L*-noted successor or phase-out date on file for the 6SL5120-1UE23-0SC0 — production is open and the BOM line does not need a cross-reference yet. Product class is listed as A: Standard product which is a stock item could be returned within the returns guidelines/period, packaged as 1 Piece per Quantity Unit at a packaging quantity of 1 — the returns window is the operational signal, not a sign of fragility.
Sourcing posture
Duty, freight, and the documentation chain determine the landed figure more than the sticker — for an ECCN-classified drive moving across borders, DDP to your dock is the only math that compares quotes fairly, and the RoHS/REACH pack has to ride with the unit for the customs file.
