Product details

The IP20 finger-safe terminals are fine inside a panel — no washdown rating, no outdoor use without a secondary enclosure. That's a step up from the PD2 rating on the 5SL and some 5SY variants — relevant if the panel sits near a compressor or in a non-conditioned electrical room.

Panel fit and compatibility

Single-pole, no neutral switching — it breaks only the line conductor. That's standard for single-phase branch circuits where the neutral is bonded elsewhere. The AC/DC voltage type means it can also switch DC loads up to 240 V, though the breaking capacity on DC isn't separately listed here; treat the DC rating as lower than the 3 kA AC figure unless the datasheet confirms otherwise. Energy limiting class 3 restricts let-through energy. At 50 Hz only.

Frequently asked questions

Will 5SQ2160-2YA25 drop into a panel specified around 5SY6040-6?

The 5SQ2160-2YA25 shares the same 1 width unit DIN-rail footprint and SENTRON platform as the 5SY6040-6, but it's a different series with a lower 3 kA breaking capacity (vs 6 kA on the 5SY6040-6) and no neutral switching. It will physically fit the same rail position, but verify the fault level and application before substituting.
