The D-curve trips instantaneously at 10 to 20 times the rated current (160–320 A for this 16 A unit). That delay above the C-curve threshold lets motor-starting or transformer-energizing currents pass without opening the circuit, while still clearing a hard short. The 6 kA breaking capacity (per EN 60898) is the standard rating for residential and light commercial distribution boards in most European markets; if your panel requires 10 kA or higher (per IEC 60947-2), step up to the 5SL4 series — same footprint, higher interrupt rating. Rated for single-phase operation up to 250 V AC and multi-phase up to 440 V AC, this 1-pole breaker fits a single phase leg in a 230/400 V TN or TT system. Depth is 76 mm, so it clears most shallow enclosures — check your gland plate clearance if the board is tight. ## Physical integration and environment","metaTitle":"Siemens 5SL6116-8CC SENTRON MCB, 1P D-curve 16A 6kA","metaDescription":"Siemens 5SL6116-8CC SENTRON miniature circuit breaker, 1-pole, D-curve, 16A, 6kA breaking capacity per EN 60898.

That is the standard interrupt rating for residential and light commercial distribution boards. If your panel requires 10 kA, look at the SENTRON 5SL4 series instead."},{"question":"What does the D-curve mean for this breaker?","answer":"The D-curve trips instantaneously at 10–20× rated current (160–320 A for this 16 A unit). It is designed for loads with high inrush current such as small motors, transformers, or discharge lighting, where a B or C curve would nuisance-trip on startup."},{"question":"Where can I buy 5SL6116-8CC?","answer":"This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent industrial-automation distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ to lock in the buy."},{"question":"Will 5SL6116-8CC fit a panel designed for 5SL4363-7?","answer":"No — the 5SL4363-7 is a 3-pole unit with 54 mm width (3 modular units), while the 5SL6116-8CC is 1-pole at 18 mm width. They share the same 76 mm depth and DIN-rail mounting, but the pole count and width are different; you would need to rewire the circuit and adjust the panel layout."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/5SL6116-8CC","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/5SL6116-8CC when reusing this data.
