It mounts on a 40-mm busbar system per DIN 43870 Part 2, which is the standard meter-panel busbar pitch in European residential and infrastructure installations. The 1.5 width units (roughly 27 mm) keep the footprint tight in a multi-pole distribution board. Infeed is via box terminal at the top; outgoing is through a spring-loaded terminal, so no screw torque is needed on the load side — just strip and push. ## Where it goes and what it protects This breaker is designed for residential buildings and infrastructure — think apartment distribution boards, light commercial sub-panels, or meter cabinets. The E characteristic is less common than B or C in general-purpose circuits, but it's specified where the load has a known high inrush that would trip a C curve on energisation: small transformers, power supplies, or capacitor banks. The enclosure depth is 76.3 mm, and the overall depth including terminals is 89.5 mm — that's the dimension to check against a shallow meter-panel lid.","metaTitle":"Siemens 5SP3716-2KK01 SENTRON MCB, 1P 16A E-Curve, 25kA","metaDescription":"Siemens 5SP3716-2KK01 SENTRON miniature circuit breaker, 1-pole, 16 A, E tripping characteristic, 25 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898.

That's the maximum fault current the breaker can safely interrupt under standard test conditions."},{"question":"What does the E tripping characteristic mean?","answer":"The E curve trips magnetically between 10× and 20× the rated current (In). For this 16 A breaker, that means instantaneous magnetic trip occurs between 160 A and 320 A. It's wider than a C curve (5–10× In), so it's chosen for loads with higher inrush that would nuisance-trip a C-curve breaker."},{"question":"Where can I buy 5SP3716-2KK01 and get current pricing?","answer":"This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time."},{"question":"What wire sizes does 5SP3716-2KK01 accept?","answer":"The terminals accept solid and stranded conductors from 2.5 mm² up to 50 mm². That covers standard building wire sizes from lighting circuits up to feeder conductors."},{"question":"Will 5SP3716-2KK01 fit in a meter panel with a 40-mm busbar system?","answer":"Yes, it's designed for mounting on a 40-mm busbar system in compliance with DIN 43870 Part 2, which is the standard for European meter panels.
