Product details

The Siemens 5SL3616-7 is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker — 4-pole (3P+N), C-curve, rated 16 A at 400 V AC. The C-curve (tripping between 5× and 10× In) handles moderate inrush loads like small motor starters or lighting banks without nuisance trips, while still clearing a hard fault inside the 4.5 kA rating per EN 60898 (5 kA per IEC 60947-2). This is the part for a residential or infrastructure distribution board — the suitability field on record says exactly that.

At 40 °C it derates to 15.23 A; at 55 °C it drops to 13.99 A. If the panel runs warm — say a crowded enclosure near a transformer — use the 40 °C figure for continuous load planning.

Dimensions: 72 mm wide (4 MW), 90 mm tall, 76 mm deep (70 mm installation depth behind panel). Sealable, halogen-free, silicon-free. Accepts auxiliary switches or shunt trips via the product extension slot. Mounting position any, so vertical or horizontal DIN-rail orientation works.

Frequently asked questions

What is 5SL3616-7's listed depth?

The overall depth is 76 mm; installation depth behind the panel face is 70 mm.

What is 5SL3616-7's listed width?

72 mm, which corresponds to 4 modular width units on a standard DIN rail.

Will 5SL3616-7 drop into a panel specified around 5SL4363-7 without rewiring?

Both are 4-pole SENTRON MCBs with the same DIN-rail footprint and 72 mm width, so the mechanical swap is straightforward. However, 5SL4363-7 is a different rating and characteristic — verify the load-side current and trip curve before substituting.
