Product details

The Siemens 5SL6216-7RC is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker (MCB) rated 16 A, 2-pole, C characteristic, with a breaking capacity of 7.5 kA according to EN 60898.

Rated for 415 V AC (multi-phase up to 440 V), single-phase operation at 250 V, and DC up to 72 V. The 50/60 Hz rating covers standard mains frequencies worldwide.

DIN-rail fit and panel integration

At 36 mm wide (2 MW), it leaves room for adjacent breakers, contactors, or terminals. Mounting position is any — vertical, horizontal, or upside-down — so panel layout is flexible. Installation depth is 70 mm, which fits most standard enclosures.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SL6216-7RC and get a price?

The 5SL6216-7RC is sourced to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — confirmed at quote time.

What is the closest functional second-source to 5SL6216-7RC?

The closest peer in the SENTRON family is the 5SL4363-7, a 3-pole, C-curve breaker with a 10 kA breaking capacity. It is wider (54 mm / 3 MW) and has a higher power loss per pole (5 W), so it will not drop into a panel wired for the 2-pole 5SL6216-7RC without rewiring and space adjustment.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 5SL6216-7RC?

The 5SL6216-7RC carries halogen-free and silicon-free material designations. Standard compliance documentation for SENTRON MCBs typically includes IEC/EN 60898-1 certification and RoHS/REACH declarations. Specific certificates should be confirmed at order time.
