Product details

The 5SY4216-7CV: The 15 kA breaking capacity at 400 V AC per IEC 60947-2 means this MCB can safely interrupt a fault current up to 15 kA without welding its contacts or cascading failure upstream — critical for selectivity studies in industrial distribution boards. The 16 A rating is at 35 °C ambient; the part derates to 14.83 A at 40 °C, 14.21 A at 45 °C, 13.6 A at 50 °C, and 12.86 A at 55 °C. The operating temperature range is -40 to 75 °C, with humidity limits of 95% up to 55 °C, 55% up to 70 °C, and 35% up to 75 °C. Rated for 440 V AC multi-phase operation, with a DC maximum of 72 V. The 2-pole design does not switch the neutral conductor.

Vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6: ±1 mm at 5–25 Hz, 50 m/s² at 25–150 Hz.

Designed to IEC / EN 60947-2. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction. Suitability for mechanical engineering and industry is stated by the manufacturer. The part is sealable for tamper-evident applications.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 5SY4216-7CV?

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

What is the closest functional second-source for 5SY4216-7CV?

Within the same 5SY4 family, the 5SY4116-7CV is a 1-pole version of the same 16 A C-curve rating. For a 2-pole replacement, the 5SY4216-7CV is the direct fit — the 1-pole variant would require a separate neutral pole and different panel wiring.

Will 5SY4216-7CV drop into a panel specified around 5SY4113-7CV without rewiring?

The 5SY4113-7CV is a 1-pole 13 A C-curve MCB. The 5SY4216-7CV is a 2-pole 16 A unit with double the width (36 mm vs 18 mm). It will not fit the same DIN-rail footprint without a wider slot and a different busbar arrangement. The terminal design and mounting method are identical, but the pole count and current rating differ.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SY4216-7CV?

The part is designed to IEC / EN 60947-2. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. For specific declarations (RoHS, REACH, UL file number), request the manufacturer's declaration of conformity or the CE declaration through the RFQ process — these are typically provided with the shipment.
