Product details

The 5SY4204-8CC is a 2-pole SENTRON miniature circuit breaker rated 4 A with a D tripping characteristic, meaning it's built for loads with high inrush — motor starters, small transformers, or solenoid banks — where the magnetic trip needs to ride through the start surge without nuisance tripping. The 10 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 tells you it can safely interrupt a fault up to that level at 440 V AC, which covers most industrial panel secondary circuits. At 40 °C ambient the continuous rating derates to 3.76 A, so if your panel runs hot, factor that in at the BOM stage.

Snaps onto DIN rail via the quick assembly system — 2 modular width units (36 mm wide), 76 mm deep, 90 mm tall. Mounts in any position, which helps when you're squeezing it into a crowded gland plate. IP20 with connected conductors is standard for enclosed panel gear.

Frequently asked questions

What does the D tripping characteristic mean for this 4 A breaker?

The D-curve means the magnetic trip activates at 10 to 20 times the rated current (40–80 A instantaneous), so it's selected for loads with high inrush like small motors, transformers, or discharge lamps — not for general lighting or resistive loads where a B or C curve would suffice.

Will 5SY4204-8CC drop into a panel specified around a 5SY7210-7CC?

It shares the same 2-pole DIN-rail footprint (36 mm wide, 76 mm deep), so mechanically it fits. But the 5SY4204-8CC is a D-curve 4 A breaker, while the 5SY7210-7CC is a different characteristic and rating — verify the load's inrush profile and continuous current before swapping.

Where can I buy 5SY4204-8CC and how is it quoted?
