The 6EP13225BA10 is a single-output DIN rail mountable power supply from Siemens' SITOP PSU100S series. It accepts a wide-range AC input (85–264 VAC) or a DC input range (110–300 V DC), delivering up to 6.5 A at 12 V. The bulk-packaged unit carries agency approvals spanning CB, cCSAus, CE, CSA, cUL, cULus, and UL listings, covering hazardous-location, industrial, and commercial ITE end-use environments.
Output Adjustability and Input Flexibility
The output is adjustable, which supports fine-tuning for distributed bus drops or cable compensation in longer runs. The wide-range AC input (85–264 VAC) accommodates nominal 100–230 V mains without selector switching, simplifying installation in multi-region or temporary setups. The DC input capability (110–300 V DC) allows the unit to operate from rectified AC or DC bus sources.
Efficiency and Thermal Context
Rated efficiency is 86 %. This figure is typical for this power class of industrial DIN rail supplies. Thermal management in the enclosing cabinet depends on load percentage, ambient temperature, and airflow; the records do not include derating curves or thermal resistance data, so specific thermal design should follow manufacturer guidance for the specific installation density.
In-Catalog Comparison: Siemens SITOP 12 V Family
The table below presents the 6EP13225BA10 alongside other Siemens DIN rail power supplies in the same voltage class. All require the reader's own qualification before use.
| MPN | Rated Output | AC Input Range | DC Input | Efficiency | Encapsulation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6EP13225BA10 (primary) | 12 V / 6.5 A | 85–264 VAC | 110–300 V DC | 86 % | Bulk |
| 6EP13222BA00 | 12 V / 7 A | 85–132 VAC; 170–264 VAC | — | 84 % | Box |
| 6EP13221SH03 | 12 V / 4.5 A | 85–264 VAC | 110–300 V DC | 85 % | Box |
Why these are catalog-similar
- 6EP13222BA00 shares the SITOP PSU100S series, 12 V output, and adjustable output feature. It is a 7 A variant with a narrower AC-only input (no DC capability) and efficiency of 84 %. The encapsulation differs (box vs. bulk).
- 6EP13221SH03 also carries the same series designation and universal input capability (AC or DC) with a 4.5 A rating. The 6EP13221SH03 is packaged in a box style and does not include the hazardous-location approval set present on the primary unit.
Agency Coverage and Application Scope
The 6EP13225BA10 lists approvals for Hazardous Locations, Industrial, and ITE (Commercial) applications, with multi-agency marks covering CB, cCSAus, CE, CSA, cUL, cULus, and UL. This breadth of certification supports adoption in equipment destined for multiple jurisdictions or in industrial machinery exported across standards regimes.
Installation Notes
The unit mounts on a standard DIN rail (TH35 profile) per common industrial panel practice. IP20 rating indicates protection against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm and no liquid protection; installation inside an enclosure is typical. No specific cutout, panel depth, or terminal torque values are provided in the available record.
