Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy 5SM9121-6KK01 and how do I get a price?
We source this part to order against an RFQ. Submit a request for a firm price and availability quote.
What is the at 40 °C rating for 5SM9121-6KK01?
At 40 °C the continuous current rating is 14.88 A.
What is the at 45 °C rating for 5SM9121-6KK01?
At 45 °C the continuous current rating is 14.88 A.
Will 5SM9121-6KK01 drop into a panel specified around 5SQ2360-0KA16 without rewiring?
No — the 5SQ2360-0KA16 is a 3-pole MCB with a different form factor and function (overcurrent protection only). The 5SM9121-6KK01 is a 2-pole RC unit (residual current device) with a different wiring scheme and panel footprint. They are not drop-in interchangeable.
What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SM9121-6KK01?
Siemens typically supplies a declaration of conformity (CE), RoHS and REACH compliance statements, and product-specific IEC/EN test reports for SENTRON RC units. Exact documentation set is confirmed at order.
