The Siemens 5SJ4213-8HG41 is a 2-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. The D-curve means it tolerates high inrush currents — typical for motor, transformer, or welding loads — without nuisance tripping on startup. It snaps onto standard DIN rail and occupies 2 modular width units (36 mm wide), making it a direct fit for most distribution panels.

Frequently asked questions
What is the breaking capacity of 5SJ4213-8HG41?
10 kA per EN 60898 and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC.
What is the D tripping characteristic used for?
The D-curve allows higher inrush current without tripping — suited for motor, transformer, and welding loads where startup current can briefly exceed the steady-state rating.
Where can I buy 5SJ4213-8HG41?
Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time.
Will 5SJ4213-8HG41 fit a panel designed for 5SY4304-7CV?
Both are 2-pole MCBs on standard DIN rail, but the 5SY series uses a different tripping characteristic and breaking capacity. The 5SJ4213-8HG41 is a D-curve 10 kA part; the 5SY4304-7CV is a C-curve variant. They are not direct drop-in replacements without verifying the required curve and interrupting rating for the circuit.
