Siemens 6ES74681CF000AA0

Technical Parameters

Impedance Matching Precision

Terminates backplane bus with 220Ω ±1% resistance per line, calibrated for 50MHz signal integrity in UR2/ER2 racks (Lmax ≤10m between termination pairs).

Mechanical Keying System

Requires slot-specific installation using polarizing grooves (Type C keying profile) to prevent misplacement in non-designated rack positions.

Transient Suppression

Integrates 4-layer PCB with embedded TVS diodes clamping bus overvoltage to ≤6.5V, compliant with IEC 61000-4-5 surge protection Level 4.

Thermal Derating Curve

Maintains full performance from -40°C to +85°C case temperature without load reduction, using beryllium oxide heat-spreader layers.

Backplane Load Detection

Auto-senses connected module capacitance via QSC (Quiescent Supply Current) monitoring, triggering SF LED if >180pF per segment deviation occurs.
