Description
The Siemens 6ES7972-0BA70-0XA0 is the SIMATIC DP 90° FastConnect bus connector without a PG socket whose terminating resistor has an isolating function: Siemens's data sheet says that when the resistor is switched on, the outgoing bus is disconnected. Its twin, the 6ES7972-0BA52-0XA0, is smaller (15.8 x 59 x 35.6 mm against 15.8 x 72.2 x 36.4 mm) and its data sheet does not state that function. It is the 9-pin sub-D plug that joins a PROFIBUS DP station to the RS 485 bus cable, taking the incoming and outgoing bus cable on FastConnect insulation-displacement terminals. Siemens rates it for 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s and IP20. FastConnect terminals take Siemens's 2-core PROFIBUS FC installation cable without stripping the individual cores.
Application: PROFIBUS DP networks
Used with: PROFIBUS DP stations with a 9-pin sub-D interface
What is the 6ES7972-0BA70-0XA0 used for?
It plugs into the PROFIBUS DP port of each station on the bus: PLC CPUs and communication modules, distributed I/O, drives and operator panels. Every station needs one; the first and last connector on a segment have the terminating resistor switched on.
Key features
- 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s PROFIBUS DP
- FastConnect insulation-displacement terminals for incoming and outgoing bus cable
- 90° (right-angle) cable outlet
- Terminating resistor with isolating function: switched on, it disconnects the outgoing bus
- No PG socket
- 15.8 x 72.2 x 36.4 mm, 34 g; strain relief, screwed locking, IP20, UL approved

Product Questions
Is the 6ES7972-0BA70-0XA0 discontinued?
No. Its manufacturer lifecycle status is Active.
Can another Siemens SIMATIC DP PROFIBUS connectors part replace it?
Potential replacements must be checked against the required ratings, dimensions and connections. Sharing a family name does not establish interchangeability.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes. TimControls ships worldwide. Parts usually ship within 3 to 7 working days of order confirmation, and the exact lead time and shipping options are stated on your quote. Include your delivery country and postal code when you ask for a quote.
