Product details

The Siemens 5SN6316-7CN is a SENTRON-series miniature circuit breaker (MCB) — a 3-pole, C-curve unit rated 16 A with a 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 at 400 V AC. That C-curve means it trips between 5× and 10× rated current, so it handles motor inrush and transformer energization without nuisance tripping on a 16 A branch, but still clears a hard short fast enough to protect downstream wiring.

Snaps onto a standard DIN rail, occupies 3 modular width units (54 mm), and its 76 mm depth plus 70 mm installation depth leaves clearance for a standard distribution board cover.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SN6316-7CN?

Rated 6 kA per EN 60898 at 400 V AC, 3-pole operation. That is the standard residential and light-commercial fault level for this class; for higher fault currents (10 kA), the peer 5SL4363-7 carries that rating.

Will 5SN6316-7CN drop into a panel that was specified around 5SL4363-7 without rewiring?

Mechanically yes — both share the same 76 mm depth, 54 mm width (3 MW), 90 mm height, and DIN-rail mounting. The difference is breaking capacity: 5SL4363-7 is rated 10 kA per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2, while this unit is 6 kA. If the panel's available fault current is under 6 kA, the swap is direct; above that, stick with the 5SL4363-7.

How do I get current pricing and availability for 5SN6316-7CN?
