Siemens 6SL3120-1TE15-0AA3 SINAMICS S120 5 A Single Motor Module
A legacy 5 A booksize axis module with a 10 A peak-current profile and internal fan cooling.
01Product Overview
Siemens 6SL3120-1TE15-0AA3 is the earlier 5 A SINAMICS S120 Single Motor Module for one controlled axis in a booksize drive group. Its generation is documented with a 4.3 A base-load current, 6 A S6 current and 10 A peak current. Siemens now identifies the exact AA3 article as a spare part, making hardware-generation matching central to replacement work.

04System Integration
- Match the exact AA3 hardware before selecting any 5 A replacement.
- Preserve the common DC-link and 24 V busbar architecture of the installed booksize lineup.
- Record the DRIVE-CLiQ topology, Control Unit firmware, motor data and safety configuration.
- Check internal fan operation and cabinet airflow before energizing the replacement.
- Verify the original 10 A peak-current design; do not apply the 15 A AA4 or AD0 maximum-current value.
- Repeat safety acceptance and controlled axis commissioning after hardware exchange.
05Applications
- Legacy SINAMICS S120 servo axes engineered around the 5 A AA3 hardware generation.
- Machine-tool feed axes with an established booksize drive lineup.
- Packaging and handling axes requiring a 5 A rated module and known project archive.
- Spare-part restoration where the original DRIVE-CLiQ topology is retained.
- Maintenance programs that preserve the original motor, encoder and safety data.
- Controlled repair strategies for installed systems that cannot yet migrate to D-type hardware.
06FAQ
What distinguishes the AA3 current profile?
The AA3 generation is documented at 5 A rated, 6 A S6 and 10 A peak current.
Can the 15 A maximum value from AA4 be used here?
No. The 15 A value belongs to later 5 A module data and must not be assigned to this AA3 article.
What supply architecture does this module use?
It operates from the SINAMICS S120 common DC link and a 24 V electronics supply.
Why is the hardware suffix important during service?
Siemens identifies this exact AA3 article as a spare part, and later generations have different documented performance and connection details.
What should be archived before exchange?
Archive the drive project, motor and encoder data, DRIVE-CLiQ topology, firmware baseline and all safety parameters.
Which cooling check is essential?
Confirm internal fan operation and provide the documented 29.6 m3/h cooling airflow.
