The 140 mm width means it occupies four standard 35 mm DIN-rail module spaces (36 mm per pole plus inter-pole gaps). Bolts onto the back panel or mounts on a DIN rail adapter plate — verify the adapter for this frame size.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-6HN46-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160A, 4P, 242kA at","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-6HN46-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160A rated, 4-pole, breaking capacity 242kA at 240V AC.
