Product details

The Siemens 5SL6116-7BB is a SENTRON 5SL6 miniature circuit breaker (MCB) — a 1-pole device with a C tripping characteristic, rated 16 A at 400 V AC, and a 6 kA breaking capacity per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. Single-pole switching at 250 V AC single-phase or 400 V AC multi-phase (max 440 V). DC rated to 72 V max. Mechanical endurance is 10 000 switching cycles typical — fine for panel isolation duty, not a daily-switched load contactor. Mounting position any, so it fits vertical or horizontal busbar configurations. IP20 with connected conductors.

For BOM freeze or second-source planning, the 5SL6016-7KL is the closest functional peer within the same 5SL6 family — same 1-pole C16, same 6 kA rating.

Width 18 mm (1 MW) leaves room for adjacent breakers in a multi-pole assembly. Height 90 mm. Rated for ambient -40 °C to +75 °C, pollution degree 2, overvoltage category III. Sealable design allows lockout/tagout (LOTO) with a hasp or clip. Touch protection integrated per the product feature.

Frequently asked questions

What is the width of this MCB?

18 mm, which is one standard DIN width unit (1 MW). Fits alongside other 18 mm breakers in a multi-pole assembly.

Will the 5SL6116-7BB replace a 5SL6016-7KL without rewiring?

Yes. Both are 1-pole C16 MCBs with 6 kA breaking capacity in the same 5SL6 family. Same DIN footprint, same electrical ratings — direct swap for panel maintenance or alternate sourcing.
