The basic switch assembly is order code 3VA21165JP420AA0, which is the replaceable switching mechanism inside the molded case. That 140 mm width is the standard 4-pole MCCB footprint for the SENTRON 3VA2 frame — it occupies the same DIN-rail or mounting-plate real estate as other 4-pole breakers in the series, so swapping in this unit for a like-frame 3VA2 variant should not require drilling new holes or reworking gland plates. Depth of 86 mm leaves room for rear-access busbars in a typical 600 mm deep enclosure.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5JP42-0AH0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 4-Pole, 187","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5JP42-0AH0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 4-pole, 187 kA interrupting at 240 V.
