The Siemens 5SY4120-7KK11 is a 1-pole SENTRON miniature circuit breaker with a C-curve trip characteristic, rated 10 kA breaking capacity according to DIN EN 60898-1 and 20 kA according to IEC 60947-2.
Railway-rated build, panel-ready footprint
The 18 mm width (1 modular unit) clips onto any DIN rail — quick-assembly fastening, mountable in any position. Depth is 76 mm with 70 mm installation depth required behind the panel.
Breaking capacity — what the two ratings mean
The 10 kA rating under EN 60898-1 covers the standard household/commercial fault-current test. The 20 kA rating under IEC 60947-2 is the industrial-grade figure — it guarantees the breaker clears a 20 kA prospective fault at 400 VAC without welding or rupturing. For DC circuits it's rated 15 kA at up to 72 V.
