Product details

It operates on 230/400 V AC supply at 50 Hz and uses an instantaneous (non-time-delayed) design, meaning it trips as soon as the residual current exceeds the threshold — no intentional delay for selectivity with downstream devices. That 10 mA sensitivity makes it suitable for circuits where a lower leakage threshold is required, such as circuits supplying socket outlets in certain residential or commercial applications, or where additional protection against direct contact is specified.

The 2-pole form factor fits standard DIN-rail enclosures, occupying a single modular width unit (roughly 18 mm per pole). The instantaneous design means it cannot be used as a selective (S-type) RCD for discrimination with downstream devices — if your distribution board requires time-delayed coordination, you would need a different variant.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SM9121-0KN and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What is 5SM9121-0KN's number of poles?

It is a 2-pole device, switching both line and neutral on a single-phase AC circuit.

What does 10 mA sensitivity mean for this RC unit?

The 10 mA trip threshold provides a lower residual current detection than standard 30 mA RCDs, making it suitable for circuits requiring additional protection against direct contact or for equipment with lower permissible leakage.
