Siemens 6SL32301YH281AP0 — SINAMICS G120X AC Drive Module
Overview
The Siemens 6SL32301YH281AP0 is an Active-rated SINAMICS G120X series chassis-mount inverter module designed for AC motor drive applications. This 26A output device operates in the 500–690 V range and targets 15 kW motor loads in industrial environments where the IP20 enclosure rating is acceptable. The MPN prefix 6SL32301YH encodes the SINAMICS inverter family, power class, and voltage group; the trailing AP0 suffix identifies the specific control-unit and firmware variant within that family.

Integration Notes
The chassis-mount form factor requires a dedicated mounting location within an enclosure or equipment chassis, with adequate thermal clearance to support the stated operating temperature window of 45 °C maximum. The IP20 rating means the module is designed for indoor environments where personnel contact is restricted during operation — standard industrial cabinet practice applies.
Similar Catalog Parts
The following parts share identical specs on record and require independent engineering qualification before use.
| MPN | Output Current | Motor Type | Series | Mounting |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6SL32301YH281AP0 (primary) | 26 A | AC Motor | SINAMICS | Chassis Mount |
| 6SL32301YH281AF0 | 26 A | AC Motor | SINAMICS | Chassis Mount |
| 6SL32301YH281AB0 | 26 A | AC Motor | SINAMICS | Chassis Mount |
| 6SL32301YH281UP0 | 26 A | AC Motor | SINAMICS | Chassis Mount |
All four parts are rated for the same 500–690 V bus, 26 A output, and 20–45 °C operating window.
Why these parts appear similar: Each shares the same Siemens SINAMICS G120X series base, identical output current and voltage class, and the same chassis-mount package. Differences in the suffix code (AP0, AF0, AB0, UP0) indicate distinct control-unit variants or firmware releases within the family — selection should be based on the specific interface and functional requirements of the target motor-drive installation.
