Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5JQ36-0AK0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) with an adjustable thermal-magnetic trip unit covering 32 A to 256 A, factory-set at 160 A. Breaking capacity at 415 V is 121 kA, which covers most industrial fault levels upstream of a transformer or generator. At 240 V it rises to 187 kA; at 690 V it drops to 3.7 kA — the part is sized for low-voltage distribution, not 690 V motor circuits. It ships with one auxiliary switch, one trip alarm switch, and one electrical alarm switch (HQ type), plus a communication function for remote status or integration into a BMS or PLC. No undervoltage release is fitted on this variant.

The 86 mm depth leaves clearance for rear-connected busbars in a typical distribution cabinet.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2116-5JQ36-0AK0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. The part is sourced to order through independent distribution; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What are the key ratings of 3VA2116-5JQ36-0AK0?

Rated current 160 A (adjustable 32–256 A), breaking capacity 121 kA at 415 V, 3-pole, with communication function and auxiliary/trip alarm switches.

Will 3VA2116-5JQ36-0AK0 drop into a panel that was specified around 5SQ2370-2YA05 without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole MCCBs in a similar footprint class, but the 5SQ2370 series is a different manufacturer's design. Verify mounting hole pattern and busbar spacing against your panel layout before ordering; the 86 mm depth and 105 mm width are typical for this class but not guaranteed interchangeable.
