Product details

The Siemens 5SJ6516-7KS is a SENTRON 5SJ6 miniature circuit breaker (MCB), 1-pole plus neutral (1P+N), rated 16 A with a C-curve trip characteristic. It breaks fault currents up to 6 kA per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 at 230 V AC. The 2-module-width (36 mm) body fits standard DIN-rail enclosures; the 76 mm depth leaves room for wiring behind the panel.

The 16 A rating at 230 V AC covers most branch circuits in residential and light-commercial panels. The 6 kA breaking capacity matches the typical prospective short-circuit current at the service entrance of a building wired per IEC 60364; if your fault level is higher, you'd step up to a 10 kA or 15 kA rated MCB.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 5SJ6516-7KS and how is it quoted?

The 5SJ6516-7KS is 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.

Will the 5SJ6516-7KS drop into a panel designed for the 5SL6563-7BB?

Yes, both are 2-module-width (36 mm) 1P+N MCBs with the same depth (76 mm) and mounting on standard DIN rail. The 5SJ6516-7KS uses screwless terminals; the 5SL6563-7BB uses screw-type terminals. The wiring pattern is identical, so no rewiring is needed — just different termination tools.

What compliance documentation is available for the 5SJ6516-7KS?

The 5SJ6516-7KS is certified to EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 (6 kA breaking capacity). It is halogen-free and silicon-free. The SENTRON series typically carries CE, UKCA, and EAC markings; specific RoHS/REACH declarations are available from Siemens on request.
