Features:
- Interconnects adjacent 22.5 mm AS-i SlimLine Compact modules.
- Carries the AS-i bus and 24 V DC auxiliary potential on separate paths.
- Requires documented Uaux infeed protection before the module group is energized.
The connector forms the electrical bridge beneath compatible SlimLine Compact devices rather than serving as a generic DIN-rail jumper.
AS-i data continues through its bus contacts while Uaux supplies the module functions that need separate auxiliary power.
Connector width, module family and protection arrangement must all agree before the group is assembled.
The Siemens 3RK1901-1YA10 22.5 mm AS-i SlimLine Device Connector may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Keeping bus communication separate from auxiliary power
- AS-i contacts: The bus path carries cyclic communication between the master and connected SlimLine Compact devices.
- Uaux contacts: A separate 24 V DC path supplies functions that do not draw their load power from the bus.
- Common assembly: Both paths pass through one aligned connector system beneath adjacent modules.
- Fault tracing: Loss of Uaux and loss of AS-i communication are checked as separate conditions.
Building a continuous SlimLine Compact group
- Position width: The connector corresponds to one 22.5 mm module pitch.
- Adjacent alignment: Neighboring modules must seat correctly so their underside contacts meet the connector.
- Bus continuation: Each correctly fitted position continues AS-i toward the following device.
- Family limit: Non-SlimLine hardware is excluded even when its enclosure width looks similar.
Protecting the auxiliary infeed before distribution
- Breaker rating: The documented Uaux feed uses a 6 A miniature circuit breaker.
- Trip characteristic: Type C behavior accommodates the permitted inrush while protecting the distribution path.
- Feed location: Protection is placed at the auxiliary supply infeed, before the connector chain.
- Inspection point: Breaker state and 24 V DC polarity are checked when modules communicate but auxiliary functions remain inactive.
Matching the connector to the installed assembly
- Order number: The full 3RK1901-1YA10 identifier confirms the 22.5 mm device connector.
- Module family: Every attached device must be an approved AS-i SlimLine Compact module.
- Contact condition: Connector contacts and module seating surfaces are inspected before reassembly.
- Power isolation: AS-i and Uaux supplies are both isolated before the module chain is separated.
