Rated 16 A at 230 V AC with a C tripping characteristic, it provides 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 — sufficient for residential and light commercial distribution boards where the prospective short-circuit current stays under that threshold. The 18 mm width (one modular unit) snaps onto standard DIN rail and accepts any mounting position, which simplifies panel layout. ## What the ratings mean for fit The C-curve (tripping characteristic class C) means the magnetic trip operates at 5 to 10 times rated current — typical for mixed resistive and moderate inductive loads like lighting circuits, small motors, and socket outlets. The 6 kA breaking capacity at 230 V AC per EN 60898 certifies it for use in final circuits where the fault level does not exceed that value. Overvoltage category III and pollution degree 2 suit fixed-installation distribution boards inside buildings. Thermal derating is published for ambient temperatures above 30 °C: 15.04 A at 40 °C, 14 A at 50 °C, and 12.89 A at 60 °C. If the panel runs hot — near a transformer or in a sealed enclosure — size the upstream protection against the derated figure, not the 30 °C nameplate. ## Integration and compliance The MCB mounts on DIN rail with a depth of 76 mm and an installation depth of 70 mm — verify enclosure depth clearance if the panel has a shallow backplate. The housing is halogen-free and silicon-free, which matters for clean-room or corrosive-environment installations. Touch protection is integrated, and the neutral conductor is switched (1P+N design). Sealable terminals allow lockout/tagout for maintenance isolation. Rated IP20 with connected conductors — suitable for dry indoor enclosures only, not washdown or outdoor exposure. Vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6 is confirmed, so it holds up in panels mounted on machinery or in transport applications.","metaTitle":"Siemens 5SL6016-7KL SENTRON MCB, 16 A, C-Curve, 6 kA, 1P+N","metaDescription":"Siemens 5SL6016-7KL SENTRON miniature circuit breaker, 16 A, C characteristic, 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898, 1P+N, 2 poles, 18 mm wide.

The 5SL6016-7KL is rated 16 A versus 6 A for the 5SL6006-7; if the circuit load exceeds 6 A, the 16 A unit fits mechanically but requires verifying that the downstream wiring and load are rated for the higher current.
