Product details

The Siemens 5SL6216-7 is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker (MCB), 2-pole, with a C tripping characteristic rated at 16 A. It breaks fault currents up to 6 kA at 400 V AC per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 — the dual rating means it's accepted for residential/infrastructure branch circuits as well as industrial panel feeder protection.

Mounting position any, which simplifies layout in tight enclosures. Sealable design allows lockout-tagout on the toggle.

Environmental and service limits

Rated for -40 °C to 75 °C ambient, pollution degree 2, overvoltage category III. Mechanical service life 10 000 operating cycles typical. Power loss 1.8 W per pole at rated current in hot state, so two poles dissipate about 3.6 W inside the enclosure at full load.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of the 5SL6216-7?

6 kA at 400 V AC per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. That dual rating covers residential/infrastructure branch circuits and industrial panel feeder protection.

Will the 5SL6216-7 fit a panel designed for the 5SL6120-7?

No — the 5SL6216-7 is 2-pole (36 mm wide) versus the 5SL6120-7's 1-pole (18 mm). Same depth and height, so it fits the same DIN rail depth, but the width doubles. Rewiring is required because the pole count differs.

Where can I buy the 5SL6216-7?
