Product details

The IP40 front protection means it's splash-proof from the front but not sealed — standard for indoor panel mounting.

The interrupting rating drops as voltage climbs: 220 kA at 240 V, 154 kA at 415 V, 121 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. For a 400 V panel (common in IEC markets), 154 kA gives generous headroom.

Current rating and thermal performance

Rated 16 A continuous from 40 °C through 55 °C ambient (–), then derates to 15 A at 60–70 °C (–). That's a tight thermal curve — no derating until you cross 55 °C, which is unusual for MCCBs and means this breaker runs cool in a standard 40 °C panel. The 10.6 W maximum power loss is the heat it dissipates at full load; in a dense panel with multiple breakers side by side, that heat adds up, so factor it into your enclosure thermal calculation. The TM220 release is fixed — no interchangeable trip units, no adjustable long-time or short-time pickup. Set it and forget it, which simplifies ordering but means you commit to the 16 A rating for the breaker's life.

Dimensions: 130 mm height, 101.6 mm width, 70 mm depth. The 101.6 mm width (4 inches) is standard for a 4-pole frame in this class; it occupies four 25 mm module spaces on a DIN rail if mounted via the optional adapter, but typically these bolt directly to a mounting plate.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1196-6EE42-0AA0 and what is the lead time?

This breaker 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 your quantity and we'll get you a firm price and delivery window.

Will 3VA1196-6EE42-0AA0 drop into a panel designed for 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0?

Not without checking the mounting pattern. The 3VA1196 frame is physically larger (130 x 101.6 x 70 mm) than the 3VA1110 frame. The bolt-hole centers and bus bar spacing differ between frame sizes. You would need to verify the panel cutout and bus bar alignment against the 3VA1196 dimensions before assuming a direct swap.

What compliance documentation is available for 3VA1196-6EE42-0AA0?

As a Siemens SENTRON product, this MCCB carries CE marking for the European market and is designed to meet IEC 60947-2. UL and CSA listings depend on the specific variant — verify the exact order code against the UL file. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens' documentation portal for the 3VA series.
