Maintains documented 12 Mbit/s device connections using the original BA50 form factor.
FastConnect insulation-displacement wiring supports rapid connection of compatible bus cable.
Useful when an installed machine record requires BA50 and migration to BA52 must be reviewed.
| Check point | Verification | Procurement note |
|---|---|---|
| Exact revision | Confirm the installed connector is BA50. | The active BA52 successor has different published dimensions. |
| PG access | Verify that no PG socket is required. | BB50 and related BB variants include PG access and are not identical. |
| Cable geometry | Measure cabinet clearance for the 90° outlet and 72.2 mm height. | Do not assume the shorter BA52 housing fits identically in a retained layout. |
| Lifecycle planning | Review successor 6ES7972-0BA52-0XA0 for new procurement. | Document network speed, cable type and approval requirements before migration. |
Siemens identifies 6ES7972-0BA50-0XA0 as PM500:Discontinued Product or end of PLM & Support, with lifecycle end on 08.12.2009. The stated successor is 6ES7972-0BA52-0XA0.
It is a legacy SIMATIC DP FastConnect bus connector for PROFIBUS networks up to 12 Mbit/s.
No. This exact BA50 variant is specified without a PG socket.
The official description specifies a 90-degree cable outlet.
No. The BA52 successor has different published dimensions, so mechanical clearance must be checked.
Siemens lists it as PM500:Discontinued Product or end of PLM & Support.
