Product details

The SENTRON 5SQ2170-0KA16 is a 1-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) with a C-curve tripping characteristic, rated 16 A at 240 V AC, 50 Hz, with a 3 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898. It accepts AC or DC supply voltage and occupies a single width unit on a DIN rail, with an IP20 finger-safe enclosure.

How it fits in a panel

Snap-on DIN-rail mount, 55 mm installation depth, one width unit (roughly 18 mm). IP20 rated for enclosed panel use — no washdown rating, so keep it behind a gland plate or cabinet door. Overvoltage category 3 and energy limiting class 3, which means it coordinates well downstream of a higher-rated upstream breaker for selective coordination in a distribution board.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of the 5SQ2170-0KA16?

Rated 3 kA per EN 60898 at 240 V AC, 50 Hz.

Where can I buy the 5SQ2170-0KA16?

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

What is the difference between the 5SQ2170-0KA16 and the 5SQ2370-2YA01?

The 5SQ2370-2YA01 is a 3-pole variant rated 1 A with the same C-curve and 3 kA breaking capacity, but at 400 V AC. It occupies three width units instead of one. The 5SQ2170-0KA16 is the correct choice when a single 16 A pole is needed.
