It occupies a single modular width unit (18 mm) on the DIN rail, making it a direct drop-in for residential and infrastructure panelboards where a standard 1-pole MCB footprint is specified. ## B-curve trip — what it means on the line At 16 A, it protects a 3.5 kW resistive load on a 230 V single-phase leg or a 11 kW three-phase heater bank at 400 V. ## Panel fit and environmental range At 18 mm wide (1 MW), the 5SL6116-6YA snaps onto a standard DIN rail with any mounting position and an installation depth of 70 mm plus the 76 mm overall depth. The IP20 rating applies with the distribution board cover in place — fine inside a sealed panel, not for wet environments. It operates across -40 to 75 °C, so it survives unconditioned enclosures in northern or desert climates. ## Halogen-free, silicon-free, sealable The molding compound is halogen-free and silicon-free — relevant for clean-room adjacent panels, semiconductor fab sub-distribution, or any spec that bans outgassing of corrosive halogens under fault. The sealable design (tamper-proof cover with a lead seal) meets utility or municipal metering requirements where unauthorised access must be evident.","metaTitle":"Siemens 5SL6116-6YA SENTRON MCB, 1P B-curve 16A 6kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 5SL6116-6YA miniature circuit breaker, 1-pole, B-curve, 16 A, 6 kA per EN 60898, 400 V AC.
