Product details

Rated 400 V AC and 60 V DC, with an insulation voltage (Ui) of 440 V AC. Overvoltage category 3 and pollution degree 3 — standard for fixed industrial installations where transients are expected. The 2-pole design switches both line conductors; neutral is not switched. Protection class IP20 with connected conductors; IP40 in the handle range. Vibration resistance rated at 50 m/s² at 25 to 150 Hz and 60 m/s² at 35 Hz (4 s) — enough for machine-mounted panels near rotating equipment.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SJ4205-8HG42?

10 kA per EN 60898 and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC.

What does the D tripping characteristic mean for this MCB?

The D curve means the magnetic trip operates at 10 to 20 times rated current, designed for high-inrush loads like motors and transformers.

Where can I buy 5SJ4205-8HG42 and get current pricing?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
