It breaks fault currents up to 10 kA per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 — enough for most residential and light commercial distribution boards. The C-curve means it trips between 5 and 10 times rated current, so it handles motor inrush and transformer energization without nuisance trips while still clearing short circuits fast. ## Ratings and what they mean for fit Rated 16 A at 30 °C ambient, but the thermal trip derates with temperature: 15.15 A at 40 °C, 14.72 A at 45 °C, 13.79 A at 55 °C. If the panel runs hot, factor that into the load — a 16 A breaker on a 55 °C bus can only carry about 13.8 A continuously. The 10 kA breaking capacity at 400 V AC is the same under both EN 60898 (domestic standard) and IEC 60947-2 (industrial standard), so it's accepted in both worlds. ## Mounting and integration Snaps onto a DIN rail in any mounting position. Four modular width units (72 mm wide) — standard 18 mm per pole. Depth is 76 mm, installation depth 70 mm. IP20 with connected conductors, so it's for enclosed distribution boards, not washdown areas. Sealable (tamper-evident cover available) and accepts supplementary devices (auxiliary contacts, shunt trips, alarm switches) via the product extension interface. ## Lifecycle and sourcing Current production — no end-of-life notice on record. The 5SL4416-7 is a standard catalog item in the Siemens SENTRON family. For a line-down replacement or a BOM fill, this part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 5SL4416-7 MCB, 4-pole, C-curve, 16 A, 10 kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 5SL4416-7 miniature circuit breaker, 4-pole, C-curve, 16 A, 400 V AC, 10 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 / IEC 60947-2.
