• High current capacity – Delivers 12A at 5.1V and 5A at 12V for demanding loads.

• Dual input compatibility – Accepts both 120V AC and 230V AC power sources.

• Passive cooling design – Operates without fans for silent, maintenance-free performance.

• Wide temperature range – Functions reliably from -20°C to +60°C ambient.

• International approvals – CE and UL/CSA certified for global installation compliance.

Installation Guidelines

Follow these steps to install the Siemens 6AR1306-0HC00-0AA0 correctly. First, ensure the input power source matches either 120V or 230V AC. Second, mount the module securely in a SICOMP system rack or enclosure. Third, connect the AC input wires to the designated input terminals. Fourth, verify proper grounding for electrical safety. Fifth, connect the 5.1V DC output to the logic circuit load. Finally, connect the +12V and -12V outputs to their respective loads.

Do not exceed the maximum output current ratings for any output. Provide adequate clearance around the 6AR1306-0HC00-0AA0 for passive cooling airflow. Use appropriately sized wiring for the 12A output current. The module requires no forced air cooling under normal operating conditions.

Package Contents
