The Siemens 5SJ3116-6RC is a 1-pole miniature circuit breaker from the Retail line, rated 16 A with a B tripping characteristic and a 4.5 kA breaking capacity. The B curve means it trips between 3 and 5 times rated current — fast enough for resistive and lighting loads, but it will nuisance-trip on motor inrush if you try to start a 16 A motor through it.
