Product details

The Siemens 5SL6316-6RC is a SENTRON 5SL6 miniature circuit breaker rated 16 A at 415 V AC, 3-pole, with a B tripping characteristic and a 7.5 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898.

Three width units (54 mm wide) snap onto standard DIN rail; the 76 mm depth and 70 mm installation depth leave room for cable management in a shallow enclosure. Screw terminals accept 0.75 to 25 mm² solid or stranded copper — sized for the 16 A feed-through without pigtail adapters. Tightening torque range is 2.5 to 3 N·m, consistent with panel-builder practice for this conductor class.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SL6316-6RC and how do I get a price?

The 5SL6316-6RC is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a request for quote (RFQ) to confirm current availability and pricing.

What is 5SL6316-6RC's listed depth?

The depth is 76 mm, with an installation depth of 70 mm, fitting standard shallow enclosures on DIN rail.

What conductor sizes does 5SL6316-6RC accept?

Screw terminals accept 0.75 to 25 mm² solid or stranded copper, covering typical branch-circuit feeds at 16 A.

Will 5SL6316-6RC drop into a panel specified around 5SL3120-6MB without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCBs on DIN rail, so the mechanical footprint is the same. The 5SL6316-6RC is a B-curve 16 A / 7.5 kA device; the 5SL3120-6MB is a different rating and characteristic. Verify the branch-circuit ampacity and coordination study before swapping — the conductor sizing and upstream protection must match the new 16 A rating.
