Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 5SL5216-6CC is a 2-pole DC miniature circuit breaker rated 16 A with a B tripping characteristic and 10 kA breaking capacity at 250 V DC. It's built for DC circuits only — the operating voltage is DC, max 72 V per pole.

DC-only application and panel fit

This is a DC-specific breaker — no AC rating. It's designed for residential and infrastructure DC sub-distribution. The 2-pole construction switches both conductors. Mounting position is any, which helps when panel layout is tight. Installation depth is 70 mm into the enclosure.

Degree of pollution 2 and overvoltage category III cover normal industrial and residential environments. Sealable for tamper-proofing after commissioning. Touch protection is built in.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 5SL5216-6CC?

Pricing and stock are confirmed at quote time. Submit an RFQ — availability and current pricing are quoted to order through independent distribution.

What is 5SL5216-6CC's listed depth (76 mm) on this component line?

The depth is 76 mm, with an installation depth of 70 mm into the enclosure.

What is 5SL5216-6CC's listed width (36 mm) on this component line?

Width is 36 mm, which corresponds to 2 modular width units on standard DIN rail.

Will 5SL5216-6CC drop into a panel that was specified around 5SL6516-6YA without rewiring?

No — the 5SL6516-6YA is an AC-rated 1P+N breaker with neutral switching, while the 5SL5216-6CC is a DC-only 2-pole breaker. Same DIN-rail footprint (36 mm wide, 76 mm deep) but different wiring and circuit topology.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 5SL5216-6CC (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC)?

The SENTRON series typically carries CE marking and is designed to IEC/EN 60898 and IEC/EN 60947-2 standards. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction is confirmed. Specific UL or REACH declarations should be verified against the manufacturer's documentation for this exact order code.
