This 2-pole unit switches both phase and neutral? No — neutral conductor switching is not provided. It's a 2-pole overcurrent device for double-pole protection on single-phase or DC circuits. Operating voltage: 400 V AC, 440 V DC (max 500 V DC). Frequency 50/60 Hz. ## Mounting & Panel Fit At 36 mm wide (2 MW) and 76 mm deep, it fits standard distribution boards and sub-panels. Sealable for tamper-proof installations. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction suits sensitive environments like data centers or medical facilities. Rated for ambient temperatures from -40 °C to +75 °C, with humidity derating: max 95% RH up to 55 °C, 55% up to 70 °C, 35% up to 75 °C. Vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6: ±1 mm at 5–25 Hz, 50 m/s² at 25–150 Hz.","metaTitle":"Siemens 5SY5216-7 SENTRON MCB, C-Curve 2-Pole 16 A, 10 kA IE","metaDescription":"Siemens 5SY5216-7 SENTRON miniature circuit breaker, 2-pole, C-curve, 16 A, 10 kA breaking capacity per IEC 60898-2 and UL1077.

These ratings ensure it safely interrupts fault currents up to those levels without cascading upstream."},{"question":"Will 5SY5216-7 drop into a panel specified around 5SY5240-7 without rewiring?","answer":"Yes — both are 2-pole SENTRON MCBs with the same 36 mm width (2 MW), same DIN-rail mounting, same depth. The difference is the current rating: 5SY5216-7 is 16 A, 5SY5240-7 is 40 A. If the panel wiring and upstream protection are sized for 16 A, it drops in. If the panel expects 40 A, you need to verify conductor sizing and coordination."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SY5216-7?","answer":"The MCB is certified to IEC/EN 60898-2 and UL1077. It is halogen-free and silicon-free.
