The Siemens SENTRON 3VM9153-0JA11 is a box terminal set — three units of the TS1.1 design — intended as an accessory for 3VM 100/160 molded-case circuit breakers. It replaces the standard line-side or load-side lugs when you need a higher-density or more serviceable connection point inside the panel.
Torque and wire-range so-what
The maximum conductor cross-section accommodated by the terminal body is 1.5…70 mm², which maps to the 14–3/0 AWG range. This covers the typical feeder and branch-circuit conductors used with 3VM 100 A and 160 A frames.
Because this is a standard accessory for an active breaker family, supply is steady.
Integration note
The terminal mounts directly onto the 3VM 100/160 breaker's line or load studs — no adapter plate or additional hardware required. The box-style enclosure keeps fingers away from energized conductors after installation, which simplifies panel inspection sign-off. When replacing existing lug-type terminations on a 3VM breaker with these box terminals, verify the stud thread pitch matches (M8 or M10 depending on frame size). The TS1.1 terminal accepts the standard stud pattern on 3VM 100/160 frames.
