Product details

It snaps onto DIN rail (2 modular width units) and is designed for branch-circuit protection in industrial control panels, distribution boards, and OEM machinery.

Temperature derating is published: at 35 °C the breaker is good for the full 2 A; at 40 °C it derates to 1.9 A, 1.85 A at 45 °C, 1.8 A at 50 °C, 1.75 A at 55 °C, and 1.7 A at 60 °C. If the enclosure ambient runs hot, size the load side accordingly — the breaker won't nuisance-trip, but continuous current capability drops. IP20 with connected conductors — the breaker itself is finger-safe only when wired; no washdown rating. Mount it inside a closed enclosure for wet or dusty areas. Energy limitation class 3 means it lets through less energy than class 1 or 2 under fault, reducing arc-flash and downstream stress on wiring.

Certified to IEC/EN 60898-1 and IEC/EN 60947-2; also carries UL1077 recognition (supplementary protector). Halogen-free and silicon-free construction. Sealable terminals (can be locked with a seal cap for tamper-evident installations).

Frequently asked questions

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time; no stock count or price is published here.

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY4202-6?

10 kA per IEC/EN 60898-1 and 35 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 400/415 V. The 35 kA rating is the industrial figure that governs SCCR coordination in panel design.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SY4202-6?

The breaker carries IEC/EN 60898-1 and IEC/EN 60947-2 certifications, plus UL1077 recognition. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. Full declarations (CE, UKCA, RoHS) are available from the manufacturer.

Will 5SY4202-6 drop into a panel specified for 5SY4140-7 without rewiring?

Both are 2-pole SENTRON MCBs with the same 2 MW form factor and DIN-rail mounting. The 5SY4202-6 is rated 2 A / B curve; the 5SY4140-7 is a 40 A / C curve. If the panel was wired for 40 A branch protection, swapping to a 2 A breaker would require load-side rework — the breaker fits mechanically but not electrically.
