Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 5SL6316-6 is a 3-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) rated 16 A with a B tripping characteristic, designed for 400 V AC systems and a 6 kA breaking capacity per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. That 6 kA rating is the same under both standards — no split between residential and industrial fault-current tables — so it covers standard distribution panel duty without needing a separate industrial rating check.

At 54 mm wide (3 modular width units), 76 mm deep, and 90 mm tall, this MCB occupies three standard 18 mm DIN-rail slots.

The housing is sealable (can be locked or tagged out per lockout/tagout procedures).

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 5SL6316-6?

We source the 5SL6316-6 through independent distribution and quote firm pricing and availability against an RFQ. Submit a request and we will confirm current lead time and price at quote time.

What is the difference between 5SL6316-6 and 5SL4363-7?

The 5SL4363-7 is the same 3-pole, 400 V form factor but with a C tripping characteristic and a higher 10 kA breaking capacity. The 5SL6316-6 uses a B curve (3–5× In magnetic trip) and 6 kA. Both share the same 54 mm width, 76 mm depth, and 90 mm height, so they are physically interchangeable in the panel — no rewiring needed if you swap between them, but the trip curve and fault-current rating must match the circuit design.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SL6316-6?

The 5SL6316-6 is rated per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 for breaking capacity, carries overvoltage category III and pollution degree 2, and is halogen-free and silicon-free. Standard Siemens documentation includes a CE declaration and the product datasheet. Specific RoHS/REACH declarations are available from Siemens on request.
