It occupies one modular width unit (18 mm) on a DIN rail, making it a direct drop-in for standard residential and infrastructure distribution boards. The C-curve means it trips between 5× and 10× rated current — suited for circuits with moderate inrush, like lighting groups, general-purpose socket outlets, and small motor loads where you need to ride through the starting surge without nuisance tripping. ## Fit and panel integration At 18 mm wide (1 MW), 76 mm deep, and 90 mm tall, this breaker fits any standard 35 mm DIN-rail enclosure. The 70 mm installation depth leaves room behind the busbar for wiring. IP20 with connected conductors means it's protected against finger contact once installed — standard for enclosed distribution boards. Rated for overvoltage category III and pollution degree 2, it's ready for fixed-installation mains supply points. ## Electrical ratings and what they mean for your circuit Rated 16 A at 230/400 V AC, 50/60 Hz. The 7.5 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 is the fault current it can safely interrupt — adequate for most residential and light commercial service entrances where the prospective short-circuit current stays under that level. Single-phase operation at 250 V AC; multi-phase at 440 V AC maximum. DC rated up to 72 V, so it can also protect DC control circuits within that voltage limit. Power dissipation is 1.7 W per pole at rated current in hot state — negligible for thermal budgeting in a populated enclosure.","metaTitle":"Siemens 5SL6116-7RC SENTRON MCB, 16A 1P C-Curve 7.5kA","metaDescription":"Siemens 5SL6116-7RC SENTRON miniature circuit breaker, 16A, 1-pole, C characteristic, 7.5 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898.

The 5SL6116-7RC is 1-pole, 1 MW (18 mm wide). They share the same 76 mm depth and 90 mm height, so the physical envelope matches, but the pole count and width are different. You would need to rewire the circuit and adjust the DIN-rail space allocation."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SL6116-7RC?","answer":"The 5SL6116-7RC is rated per EN 60898 (7.5 kA breaking capacity) and carries IP20 protection. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. Standard Siemens SENTRON documentation includes the declaration of conformity and CE marking. RoHS and REACH compliance is standard for current-production SENTRON breakers."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/5SL6116-7RC","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/siemens/5SL6116-7RC when reusing this data.
