Product details

The 15 A rating holds at 30 °C and 40 °C ambient; above that it derates to 14.6 A at 45 °C, 14.1 A at 50 °C, 13.6 A at 55 °C, and 13.2 A at 60 °C, so factor your panel ambient into the load calculation.

Panel fit and environment

Width is 36 mm (2 modular units), depth 70 mm, height 121 mm. Snaps onto standard mounting rail (DIN rail) in any position. Sealable, so a panel lockout tag can be applied after commissioning.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 5SJ4218-8HG42?

Submit an RFQ. Pricing and stock are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels.

What is the D tripping characteristic used for?

The D-curve (10–20× In magnetic trip) is designed for loads with high inrush current: motors, transformers, welding equipment, and discharge lighting. It prevents nuisance tripping on startup surges while still providing short-circuit protection.

What is the thermal derating for 5SJ4218-8HG42?

The 15 A rating holds at 30 °C and 40 °C. It derates to 14.6 A at 45 °C, 14.1 A at 50 °C, 13.6 A at 55 °C, and 13.2 A at 60 °C. Factor your panel ambient temperature into the load calculation.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 5SJ4218-8HG42?

The product is designated per EN 61346-2 and IEC 81346-2 (function code F). It is halogen-free and silicon-free, rated for pollution degree 3 and overvoltage category 3. Standard manufacturer declarations for RoHS and REACH are available on request.
