Product details

The SENTRON 5SQ2160-2YA32 is a 1-pole miniature circuit breaker with a B-curve tripping characteristic, rated 32 A at 30 °C and 240 V AC.

Degree of pollution 3 and overvoltage category 3 mean it's rated for the typical environment inside a distribution board — no special sealing or isolation needed. IP20 protection covers finger-safe terminals but not washdown; keep it inside an enclosure rated for the panel's ambient conditions.

Thermal derating is documented across the operating range: 32 A at 30 °C, 29.6 A at 40 °C, 28.64 A at 45 °C, 27.84 A at 50 °C, 26.72 A at 55 °C, and 25.6 A at 60 °C. The energy limitation class of 3 means it limits let-through energy well — useful for coordinating with downstream equipment.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SQ2160-2YA32 and how do I get a price?

The 5SQ2160-2YA32 is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is 5SQ2160-2YA32's listed number of poles?

The 5SQ2160-2YA32 is a 1-pole miniature circuit breaker.

Will 5SQ2160-2YA32 drop into a panel specified around 5SQ2170-2YA15 without rewiring?

No. Both are 1-pole, 1 MW, 55 mm depth, and share the same DIN-rail footprint, but the 5SQ2160-2YA32 is a 32 A B-curve while the 5SQ2170-2YA15 is a 1.6 A C-curve. The current rating and tripping characteristic are completely different — the panel's busbar, cable sizing, and load coordination would all need to be re-evaluated.
