Product details

The Siemens 5SJ4120-8HG42 is a 1-pole SENTRON miniature circuit breaker with a D tripping characteristic, rated 10 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC.

Rated 400 V AC (pollution degree 3, overvoltage category 3) and 60 V DC maximum — the DC rating is for control-circuit or signal isolation, not for high-current DC loads. Breaking capacity: 10 kA under EN 60898 (the household/commercial standard) and 15 kA under IEC 60947-2 (the industrial standard). That 15 kA figure gives headroom for industrial panels with higher fault current potential. The D-curve trips between 10× and 20× rated current, so it's sized for loads with a high starting surge — a small motor or a bank of HID lamps.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 5SJ4120-8HG42?

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 is the closest functional second-source to 5SJ4120-8HG42?

The 5SY series (e.g., 5SY4116-7CV) is the same SENTRON platform with a C-curve instead of D-curve. If your load has moderate inrush, a C-curve MCB may substitute, but for motor or transformer circuits with high starting current the D-curve of the 5SJ4120-8HG42 is the correct choice. The physical footprint (18 mm width, DIN-rail mount) is identical, so it drops into the same panel position without rewiring.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SJ4120-8HG42?

The part is designed to EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. It carries the SENTRON brand and is halogen-free and silicon-free. Full RoHS/REACH declarations and the CE declaration of conformity are available from Siemens on request.
