Full 16 A rating holds from 40 °C up to 55 °C ambient; at 60 °C it derates to 15 A, and at 70 °C it holds at 15 A. The enclosure front carries IP40 protection — suitable for dry indoor panel environments where tools or fingers are the main concern, not washdown. Dimensions are 130 mm height, 101.6 mm width, and 70 mm depth, fitting standard MCCB mounting footprints.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-6GF42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 16 A, 4-Pole, 220 k","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1196-6GF42-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 16 A, 4-pole, breaking capacity 220 kA at 240 V.
