Product details

The Siemens 5SL3216-7CC is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker — a 2-pole (2P) unit with a C-curve trip characteristic, rated 16 A at 400 V AC, and a breaking capacity of 4.5 kA per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. That's a standard footprint — it clips into any 35 mm DIN rail enclosure and leaves room for busbar combing and downstream wiring.

The 2-pole design switches both phase and neutral (no neutral switching on this variant — it's a 2P breaker, not a 1P+N). Halogen-free and silicon-free construction, so it's suitable for clean-room or sensitive-environment panels where outgassing matters.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings of 5SL3216-7CC?

2-pole, C-curve, 16 A rated current, 4.5 kA breaking capacity at 400 V AC (per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2). It occupies 2 modular width units (36 mm wide, 76 mm deep).

Will 5SL3216-7CC drop into a panel that was specified around 5SL6016-7KL without rewiring?

No — the 5SL6016-7KL is a 1P+N (single-pole switched neutral) unit in 1 MW width, while the 5SL3216-7CC is a 2-pole (2P) breaker in 2 MW width. The footprint and wiring differ; you'd need to rework the busbar and possibly the enclosure layout.

Where can I buy 5SL3216-7CC?
