Product details

What the ratings mean for fit

The Siemens 5SY4216-7CC11 is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker (MCB) in a 2-pole (2P) configuration, rated 16 A at AC with a C tripping characteristic. That C-curve means it trips at 5 to 10 times rated current — designed for moderate inrush loads like small motors, transformers, or lighting banks where you need to ride through the start-up surge without nuisance tripping. The 10 kA breaking capacity at EN 60898 tells you it can safely interrupt a short-circuit fault up to that level; in a panel with higher prospective fault current you'd need to coordinate upstream or step to a higher-rated device.

Temperature derating — the real current you get

The 16 A rating holds at 35 °C ambient. Above that, derate linearly: 15.04 A at 40 °C, 14.54 A at 45 °C, 14.02 A at 50 °C, 13.47 A at 55 °C, and 12.91 A at 60 °C. If your panel runs hot — say 50 °C inside the enclosure — this breaker is effectively a 14 A device. Plan your load accordingly; don't treat the 16 A label as usable at every ambient.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY4216-7CC11?

10 kA rated breaking capacity per EN 60898. That's the maximum short-circuit current it can safely interrupt at its rated voltage.

Where can I buy 5SY4216-7CC11?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What compliance documentation is available for 5SY4216-7CC11?

The part carries IP20 protection (with connected conductors), overvoltage category III, and pollution degree 3. It's designed for railway applications and mechanical engineering/industry use. Standard manufacturer documentation includes CE declaration and product datasheet.
