Product details

The 5SL3516-6: Ambient temperature derating is published: 15.23 A at 40 °C, 14.88 A at 45 °C, 13.99 A at 55 °C — plan your panel's thermal environment against these figures, not the 30 °C nameplate.

Snap-on DIN rail mount, any orientation. IP20 with connected conductors — not rated for washdown; keep inside a closed enclosure. Sealable and touch-protected per the product feature.

The 4.5 kA SCCR at 230 V AC covers most utility transformer fault levels in European domestic installations; verify against your point-of-supply fault current before specifying.
