Buyer's Guide: Siemens 6AR1306-0HC00-0AA0 Power Supply Module
This guide helps you evaluate its specifications, applications, and maintenance needs to determine if it fits your operation.
Product Overview
The 6AR1306-0HC00-0AA0 is a power supply module designed for Siemens SICOMP systems. It accepts 120 V AC or 230 V AC input, making it adaptable to different facility power standards. Its passive cooling design ensures quiet, maintenance-friendly operation.

The triple-output design is a standout feature. It provides 5.1 V, 12 V, and -12 V rails simultaneously, which simplifies power distribution for mixed-voltage electronics. This reduces the need for multiple converters and streamlines system architecture.
Applications & Use Cases
This module suits industrial control cabinets, test equipment, and embedded systems that require multiple DC rails. For example, a typical SICOMP-based control panel can use the 5.1 V rail for logic circuits, the 12 V rail for relays or actuators, and the -12 V rail for analog circuitry. Its wide temperature range makes it viable for factory floors and outdoor enclosures.
Installation & Setup
Mount the module securely on a DIN rail or flat surface, ensuring adequate airflow around the passive cooler. Connect the AC input to a properly rated supply (120 V AC or 230 V AC). Verify that the load on each output does not exceed the rated current: 12 A on 5.1 V, 5 A on 12 V, and 0.5 A on -12 V. Use appropriate wire gauges and fusing per local electrical codes.
Maintenance & Reliability
Because the module uses passive cooling, there are no fans to replace. Periodically inspect the enclosure for dust buildup and ensure ventilation paths remain clear. Check input and output connections for tightness. The module's operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C accommodates most industrial environments, but avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures above 60°C to preserve longevity.
Compatibility & Integration
The 6AR1306-0HC00-0AA0 is specifically designed for Siemens SICOMP systems, ensuring seamless integration. It is not a generic power supply; verify that your system's load profile matches the output currents. For non-SICOMP applications, confirm that the voltage and current requirements align with the module's capabilities.
Troubleshooting & Common Issues
If the module fails to power up, first check the AC input voltage and fuse. If output voltages are low, measure each rail under load—overloading the 5.1 V rail beyond 12 A can cause droop. For intermittent issues, inspect for loose connections or signs of overheating. Always refer to the official Siemens documentation for detailed diagnostics.
