The short-time delayed G characteristic (super resistant K variant) tolerates brief leakage pulses from electronics or surge suppressors, so it won't drop out on equipment with normal leakage.
The 16 A rating holds only at 30 °C ambient. In a crowded enclosure at 40 °C the continuous current drops to 15.2 A; at 50 °C it's 14.4 A; at 60 °C it's 13.6 A; at 70 °C it's 12.32 A. Mounting position is unrestricted, so vertical or horizontal DIN-rail orientation does not affect the derating curve.
