Product details

The Siemens 5SL5216-7CC is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker — 2-pole, C-curve, rated 16 A with a 10 kA DC breaking capacity at 72 V DC.

DC rating and the so-what

This breaker is specced for DC only — 72 V DC maximum, 10 kA. That's not a typo; it's not rated for AC at all. If your line runs a 48 V DC control bus or a 60 V DC power supply bank, this is the right MCB. The 2-pole design (2P) means both poles switch simultaneously, so you get full isolation on both the positive and return sides. That's a requirement in many DC systems to avoid a floating ground fault.

The IP20 rating (with conductors connected) is typical for enclosed panel gear — no washdown rating, so keep it inside the cabinet. Sealable, halogen-free, silicon-free — matters if you're in a food plant or a clean room where outgassing is a concern.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 5SL5216-7CC and get a price?

We source and quote this part to order against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit a request and we'll get you a firm number.

What is the depth of the 5SL5216-7CC?

The depth is 76 mm, with a 70 mm installation depth behind the panel face. That's standard for SENTRON 2-pole MCBs.

Will the 5SL5216-7CC drop into a panel specified for the 5SL6220-7?

Same footprint — both are 36 mm wide, 90 mm tall, 76 mm deep, 2-pole SENTRON MCBs. The 5SL6220-7 is a 20 A AC-rated version; the 5SL5216-7CC is 16 A DC-rated. Mechanically they interchange without rewiring, but verify the voltage and current rating match your circuit.
