The Siemens 5SN6216-8CP is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker from the SENTRON 5SN series, rated for 400 V AC at 50 Hz. The higher IEC figure tells you this breaker can handle fault currents up to 15 kA in an industrial context without needing an upstream current-limiting device, which matters when you're coordinating selectivity in a motor control center or a sub-distribution board. 72 V DC maximum rating covers control-circuit protection. 10,000 mechanical operating cycles typical. 2-module-width footprint: 36 mm wide, 76 mm deep, 90 mm tall. Installation depth 70 mm. Accepts solid conductors up to 35 mm².
