Product details

Thermal derating and installation

The 5SL3116-7: At 40 °C ambient the continuous rating drops to 15.23 A; at 45 °C it's 14.88 A; at 55 °C it's 13.99 A. If the panel runs warm — say a crowded enclosure with multiple breakers — factor the derated value, not the 30 °C nameplate. The breaker mounts in any position (vertical, horizontal, upside down) and carries IP20 protection with conductors connected, so it's fine inside a closed panel but not for wet or dusty locations. Depth is 76 mm, installation depth 70 mm — verify the enclosure depth if you're retrofitting into a shallow box.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 5SL3116-7?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. The part is sourced to order via independent distribution; pricing and stock levels are confirmed at quote time.

Will 5SL3116-7 drop into a panel specified around 5SL3116-6MB without rewiring?

Both are 1-pole SENTRON MCBs with the same 18 mm width and DIN-rail mounting, so the mechanical fit is identical. The difference is the trip curve: 5SL3116-7 is C-curve (16 A), while 5SL3116-6MB is B-curve (16 A). B-curve trips faster on moderate overloads (3–5× In) and is preferred for resistive loads or long cable runs; C-curve handles the higher inrush of small motors and transformers. No rewiring needed, but verify the trip curve matches the circuit's load type.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 5SL3116-7?

The SENTRON series carries IEC 60898 and IEC 60947-2 ratings as standard. The product is halogen-free and silicon-free. For specific declarations (RoHS, REACH, UL file number), request the manufacturer's compliance pack with your RFQ — those documents are issued per batch and not reproduced on this listing.
