Dimensions: 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide, 70 mm deep — standard 3VA frame size that mounts on a DIN rail or via screw terminals in a distribution board.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1196-4EF36-0JC0 MCCB, 16A, 121kA at 240V","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1196-4EF36-0JC0 molded case circuit breaker, 16A rated, 121 kA breaking at 240V.
