Product details

Screw terminals accept solid or stranded conductors from 1 to 16 mm²; tighten to 2.5–3 N·m. The IP20 rating applies only when the distribution board is installed with conductors connected.

Thermal derating and operating envelope

Full 25 A rating holds at both 40 °C and 45 °C ambient. Above that, derate linearly: 24 A at 50 °C, 23 A at 55 °C, 22 A at 60 °C, 21 A at 65 °C, and 20 A at 70 °C.

Protection class and safety features

Overvoltage category III (distribution-board level) and finger- and back-of-hand safe touch protection are built in. The instantaneous design (no short-time delay) trips within one AC cycle on a residual fault — critical for personnel protection. Silicon-free construction matters for high-reliability or potting-sensitive environments. The I²t withstand rating of 70,000 A²·s and surge-current resistance of 1 kA (8/20 µs) confirm it handles transient events without nuisance tripping.

Frequently asked questions

What are the conductor size limits for 5SM1612-6?

Screw terminals accept solid or stranded copper from 1 mm² up to 16 mm². Tightening torque is 2.5 to 3 N·m.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SM1612-6?

As a current-production SENTRON RCCB, it carries the standard CE marking for the European low-voltage directive. Specific RoHS, REACH, or UL documentation is available on request from the manufacturer or distributor.
