Product details

What this MCB does in the panel

The SENTRON 5SQ2160-2YA06 is a 1-pole miniature circuit breaker with a B tripping characteristic rated 6 A at 240 V AC, breaking 3 kA per EN 60898. At 40 °C ambient the continuous rating derates to 5.55 A; at 60 °C it drops to 4.8 A, so a panel sitting near a hot drive or transformer needs the next size up or forced ventilation. IP20 means finger-safe terminals but no protection against dripping water or washdown — keep this inside a sealed enclosure, not in a wet-well cabinet or outdoors.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SQ2160-2YA06?

3 kA per EN 60898 at 240 V AC — sized for residential and light commercial distribution boards where the prospective fault current stays under that threshold.

Will 5SQ2160-2YA06 fit in a panel designed for 5SQ2360-0KA16?

Mechanically yes — both are SENTRON 5SQ series with the same 55 mm depth and DIN-rail mounting. The 5SQ2160-2YA06 is 1-pole vs 3-pole, so it occupies 1 MW instead of 3 MW; it will clip onto the same rail without modification.

Where can I buy 5SQ2160-2YA06?
