Product details

Siemens 5SJ4214-8HG42 — SENTRON 2-pole MCB, D-curve

Rated 400 V AC and 60 V DC — the AC figure is the line-to-line voltage for a 2-pole breaker on a 230/400 V system; the DC rating is lower because DC arcs are harder to extinguish. The D-curve trips magnetically between 10× and 20× In, so it's sized for loads with a high starting surge. Vibration resistance tested to 50 m/s² at 25–150 Hz and 60 m/s² at 35 Hz (4 s) — relevant if this breaker goes into a mobile or machine-mounted enclosure.

Width is 36 mm (2 modular units), depth 70 mm, height 121 mm. Mounting position any, so you can orient it vertically or horizontally in the panel. Sealable, halogen-free, silicon-free — relevant for clean-room or food-line panels where outgassing matters.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SJ4214-8HG42?

10 kA per EN 60898 and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2. The higher IEC figure applies when the breaker is used in industrial panels where the standard allows the higher rating.

Will 5SJ4214-8HG42 drop into a panel specified for 5SY4304-7CV?

Both are 2-pole D-curve MCBs on the same DIN-rail footprint, so mechanical fit is the same. Check the breaking capacity and voltage ratings on your panel design — the 5SJ4 series may differ slightly from the 5SY series in those specs. No rewiring needed for the rail mount.

Where can I buy 5SJ4214-8HG42 and get current pricing?
