Product details

The Siemens 5SL6316-7RC is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker rated 16 A with a C tripping characteristic, 3 poles, and a 7.5 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 at 415 V AC.

Voltage and frequency coverage

Rated supply voltage is 415 V AC, with multi-phase operation accepted up to 440 V AC maximum. Single-phase operation is rated at 250 V AC. The breaker handles 50/60 Hz line frequencies — no issue for standard mains anywhere. DC rating tops out at 72 V, so this is an AC-primary device; don't spec it for a DC subpanel unless you're below that ceiling.

Occupies 3 modular width units (each 18 mm, so 54 mm total) on a DIN rail. Sealable — you can lock the toggle position for tamper resistance in metered or common-area panels.

Environmental and compliance specs

Halogen-free and silicon-free construction, which matters for outgassing-sensitive environments like clean rooms or telecom shelters.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SL6316-7RC?

7.5 kA per EN 60898 at 415 V AC. It does not carry an IEC 60947-2 rating, so for industrial boards requiring that standard, check local code or consider the 5SL4363-7 which offers 10 kA per both standards.

Will the 5SL6316-7RC fit in a panel designed for 5SL4363-7?

Yes, direct mechanical swap. Both share the same 76 mm depth, 54 mm width (3 MW), 90 mm height, DIN-rail mounting, and unrestricted mounting position. No rewiring needed.

Where can I buy the 5SL6316-7RC?

Sourced to order through independent distribution channels. Submit an RFQ for your quantity; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What compliance documentation is available for 5SL6316-7RC?

The breaker is halogen-free and silicon-free. Standard Siemens SENTRON documentation includes CE declaration of conformity and manufacturer declarations for RoHS and REACH. Request specific compliance documents with your RFQ.
