Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 5SL6116-6RC is a 1-pole miniature circuit breaker rated 16 A at 30 °C with a B tripping characteristic, breaking 7.5 kA per EN 60898 at 415 V AC.

At 16 A, it covers branch circuits feeding lighting, receptacles, and small appliances. Single-pole construction (1P) means it switches only the phase — neutral must be handled separately. DC rating caps at 72 V. The 18 mm width and 76 mm depth (70 mm installation depth) are standard for a 1-module MCB. Mounts in any position;

Snap-on DIN rail mount, one modular width (18 mm). Sealable means the toggle can be locked in the OFF position with a standard seal wire for lockout/tagout compliance.

Frequently asked questions

Will 5SL6116-6RC drop into a panel specified around 5SL6132-6MB?

Yes, both share the same 18 mm width, 76 mm depth, and DIN-rail mount. The 5SL6116-6RC has a 16 A rating and 7.5 kA breaking capacity; the 5SL6132-6MB is 32 A / 6 kA. If your panel wiring and load are sized for 32 A, the 16 A breaker will trip on overload. For a 16 A branch, it is a drop-in replacement.
