Product details

MCB for panel builders — 16 A B-curve, 2-pole, 6 kA

Breaking capacity is 6 kA. Rated for 400 V AC phase-to-phase (max 440 V in multi-phase operation), 50 Hz supply. Any mounting position is allowed, which simplifies layout in crowded enclosures.

Terminal and environmental specs

Tightening torque range is 2.5 to 3 N·m — consistent with standard comb busbar systems. Touch protection is built in (IP20 with connected conductors), and the breaker is sealable for anti-tamper applications. Rated ambient temperature -25 to +45 °C; storage range -40 to +75 °C. Withstands periodic 55 °C at up to 95% humidity. Energy limiting class 3, overvoltage category 3. No neutral conductor switching (2-pole unit switches both phases but does not break the neutral — verify your system neutral arrangement). DC rated maximum 60 V.

Frequently asked questions

What wire sizes does 5SL6216-6BB accept?

Solid or stranded copper from 0.75 mm² up to 25 mm². Torque terminals to 2.5–3 N·m.
