Product details

It's built for panel protection in industrial control cabinets — mechanical engineering and industry applications per the manufacturer's suitability listing.

Breaking capacity — the number that decides fit

Breaking capacity is the first thing to verify when swapping an MCB into an existing panel. This 5SY4204-7 carries three ratings: 10 kA per IEC 60898-1 (the domestic / light commercial standard), 35 kA per IEC 60947-2 (the industrial standard), and 15 kA at DC per IEC 60947-2. Under UL 1077 it's rated 5 kA. If it's higher, you need a higher-rated device or a current-limiting upstream fuse.

Mounting position any orientation, and the supply cord can land on either top or bottom terminals (combined terminal top and bottom). Installation depth 70 mm, overall depth 76 mm. IP20 with conductors connected — fine inside a closed panel, not for wet environments.

Environmental and handling specs

Humidity derating: max 95% RH up to 55 °C, dropping to 35% at 75 °C. Sealable — you can lock the toggle in the off position with a padlock for lockout/tagout.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 5SY4204-7?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Pricing and stock are confirmed at quote time; the part is sourced to order through independent distribution.

Will 5SY4204-7 drop into a panel that was specified around 5SL4363-7 without rewiring?

Both are 2-pole SENTRON MCBs with the same 36 mm width (2 MWU) and DIN-rail mounting, so the physical fit is identical. The key difference is the breaking capacity and trip curve — the 5SL4363-7 is a B-curve with different interrupting ratings. Check your panel's fault current and trip coordination before swapping.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 5SY4204-7?

The breaker is certified to IEC/EN 60898-1, IEC/EN 60947-2, UL 1077, and CSA C22.2 No. 235. It is halogen-free and silicon-free.
