Product details

The 5SQ2160-0KA13: The B-curve trips between 3 and 5 times rated current (roughly 39–65 A magnetic trip threshold), so it's sized for resistive and general-purpose loads where you don't expect high inrush — lighting circuits, control transformers, small power supplies.

Snap-on DIN rail mount, 55 mm installation depth. The single-pole body leaves room for adjacent breakers in a multi-pole assembly; the busbar comb bridges across the line side. AC/DC rated supply, but the 50 Hz frequency rating governs the thermal-magnetic response timing — don't use on a DC circuit without verifying the trip curve holds.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SQ2160-0KA13?

3 kA per EN 60898 at 240 V AC, which is the standard rating for this class of miniature circuit breaker.

What does the B-curve mean for this breaker?

The B-curve trips magnetically between 3 and 5 times rated current (39–65 A for the 13 A variant), making it suitable for resistive and low-inrush loads like lighting and control transformers.

Will 5SQ2160-0KA13 drop into a panel specified for 5SQ2360-0KA16?

No — the 5SQ2360-0KA16 is a 3-pole, 16 A B-curve breaker on a 400 V supply. The 5SQ2160-0KA13 is 1-pole, 13 A, 240 V. They share the same SENTRON 5SQ family and DIN-rail footprint, but the pole count and rating are different; you'd need to rewire the panel for single-pole protection and confirm the load current fits 13 A.

Where can I buy 5SQ2160-0KA13?
