Product details

The Siemens 5SN6416-8CP is a 4-pole miniature circuit breaker from the SENTRON 5SN series, designed for 400 V AC, 50 Hz systems.

The 6 kA per EN 60898 is the domestic standard; if your panel is built to that code, the lower figure governs. The 440 V AC maximum for multi-phase operation means it's rated for 400 V class systems with headroom for voltage swell. The 72 V DC maximum is a hard limit — do not use this breaker on DC circuits above that voltage. Power loss is 1.6 W per pole at rated current in hot state, so a 4-pole unit dissipates about 6.4 W; factor that into enclosure thermal calculations if the panel is densely packed.

DIN-rail footprint and conductor sizing

Depth is 76 mm overall; installation depth (the projection behind the panel face) is 70 mm. Accepts solid conductors up to 35 mm² — enough for the incoming feed on a sub-distribution board. The 10 000 mechanical operating cycles is typical for this class; it is not a high-cycle switching device, so do not use it for frequent load switching in a process line.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SN6416-8CP?

It is rated 6 kA according to EN 60898 and 15 kA according to IEC 60947-2. The IEC figure governs industrial panel coordination.

Where can I buy the 5SN6416-8CP and get current pricing?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

Will the 5SN6416-8CP drop into a panel specified for 5SY5416-7?

Both are 4-pole, 4-module-width MCBs with the same 76 mm depth and 72 mm width. The 5SN6416-8CP has a lower EN 60898 breaking capacity (6 kA vs 10 kA on the 5SY5416-7), so check the fault level at the panel's point of supply before swapping.

What is the depth of the 5SN6416-8CP?

The overall depth is 76 mm; the installation depth behind the panel face is 70 mm.
