The Siemens 5SL6116-7 is a 1-pole SENTRON miniature circuit breaker rated 16 A with a C tripping curve, designed for 230/400 V AC residential and infrastructure branch circuits. The C-curve means it holds through motor inrush up to about 5–10× rated current, so it suits mixed resistive-inductive loads like pumps or compressors on a single-phase line.

Frequently asked questions
What is the breaking capacity of 5SL6116-7?
6 kA per EN 60898 and 6 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 230/400 V AC.
Where can I buy 5SL6116-7?
Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution; availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time.
Will 5SL6116-7 drop into a panel that was specified around 5SL4363-7 without rewiring?
No — 5SL4363-7 is a 3-pole unit (54 mm wide) while 5SL6116-7 is 1-pole (18 mm wide). The single-pole breaker fits the same DIN rail but occupies only one module width, so the panel layout and busbar arrangement must be different.
