Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the original 6ES5951-7LD21 is unavailable or end-of-life, the following models are commonly evaluated as replacements. Always verify electrical and mechanical compatibility before substitution:
- 6ES5951-7LB21 – PS951 5 VDC / 5 A variant; suitable for lighter-load S5 racks
- 6ES5951-7LC21 – PS951 5 VDC / 7 A + 24 VDC / 10 A; reduced 24 V capacity
- 6ES5951-7ND21 – Wide-range input version; preferred for unstable grid environments
- 6ES5955-3LC41 – PS955 series; compatible with S5-115U extended racks
- Third-party equivalents – Must match 5 V / 7 A + 24 V / 15 A output, S5 backplane connector pinout, and CE/UL certification
Note: Siemens SIMATIC S5 is a discontinued platform. Siemens recommends migration to S7-300/S7-1500 for new projects. Contact us for migration assessment support.
Why Choose the Original Model
- Guaranteed compatibility with all S5-115U, S5-135U, and S5-155U rack configurations
- Proven field reliability in continuous 24/7 industrial environments
- Dual-output design eliminates the need for a separate 24 V auxiliary supply
- OEM-certified – no firmware or hardware adaptation required
- Reduced commissioning risk for legacy plant maintenance and brownfield upgrades
Typical Applications
- Legacy SIMATIC S5 PLC rack power restoration and spare-parts stocking
- Automotive assembly line control systems (body shop, paint shop)
- Chemical and petrochemical process control panels
- Water treatment and utilities SCADA infrastructure
- Steel mill and heavy-industry drive control cabinets
- Brownfield plant maintenance where S5 → S7 migration is deferred
System Compatibility
- SIMATIC S5-115U (6ES5115-3UA11, 3UA12, 3UA13)
- SIMATIC S5-135U (6ES5135-3UA11, 3UA12)
- SIMATIC S5-155U (6ES5155-3UA11, 3UA12)
- Compatible with all standard S5 I/O modules: digital, analog, communication, and positioning
- Not compatible with SIMATIC S5-90U / S5-95U (different form factor)
Selection Guide
Use the table below to select the correct PS951 variant for your rack configuration:
- 5 V load ≤ 5 A, 24 V load ≤ 10 A → 6ES5951-7LB21
- 5 V load ≤ 7 A, 24 V load ≤ 10 A → 6ES5951-7LC21
- 5 V load ≤ 7 A, 24 V load ≤ 15 A → 6ES5951-7LD21 ✓ (this model)
- Unstable AC input / wide-range grid → 6ES5951-7ND21
- Extended rack / high I/O count → 6ES5955-3LC41 (PS955 series)

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use 6ES5951-7LC21 instead of 6ES5951-7LD21?
A: Yes, if your 24 VDC load does not exceed 10 A. The -7LD21 provides 15 A on the 24 V rail; the -7LC21 is limited to 10 A. Exceeding this will trigger overcurrent protection.
Q: Is 6ES5951-7LD21 compatible with S5-90U?
A: No. The S5-90U uses a different compact rack format. This module is designed for the U-series central racks (115U / 135U / 155U) only.
Q: Can this power supply be repaired instead of replaced?
A: Board-level repair is possible for common failures (capacitor aging, rectifier diodes). We offer repair assessment on request. However, for critical production environments, replacement is recommended for reliability.
Q: Do you provide a migration path to SIMATIC S7?
A: Yes. We can advise on S5 → S7-300 or S7-1500 migration, including I/O mapping, program conversion tools (STEP 5 → STEP 7 / TIA Portal), and hardware BOM.
Q: What is the typical lead time?
A: In-stock units ship within 3–5 business days. Out-of-stock items are sourced within 2–4 weeks depending on global availability.
