Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 5SJ6216-6KS is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker in the 5SJ6 series, rated 16 A at 400 V AC with a B tripping characteristic.

Width is 36 mm (2 modular units), depth 76 mm, height 90 mm, with an installation depth of 70 mm. That matches the standard 18 mm/module DIN-rail footprint — drops into any SENTRON or generic distribution board without extra adaptors. Screwless outgoing terminals speed wiring; touch protection is built in.

DC rating and application notes

Rated for DC operation up to 60 V maximum — useful for control-circuit protection or DC distribution in telecom shelters. Mechanical service life is 20 000 cycles typical. Mounting position is unrestricted. No neutral conductor switching on this 2P variant.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SJ6216-6KS and how is it quoted?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or price is published here.

What is the closest functional alternative to 5SJ6216-6KS?

The 5SJ6216-6 (without the KS suffix) is the same 2-pole B 16A 6kA breaker but with screw-type terminals instead of screwless. Panel footprint and electrical ratings are identical — swap without rewiring if the terminal type is acceptable.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SJ6216-6KS?

The breaker is designed to EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2, both cited at 6 kA. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. Full RoHS/REACH declarations are available from Siemens on request.
