The 16 A rating holds at 35 °C ambient; above that, the breaker derates linearly to 12.86 A at 60 °C, so if your panel runs hot you need to account for that in your load calculation. The dual breaking capacity rating matters for selectivity: 10 kA under EN 60898 covers the residential/commercial standard, while the 20 kA under IEC 60947-2 gives you headroom for industrial fault levels. That 20 kA figure is what you'd use for SCCR coordination in a control panel feeding downstream contactors or drives.

Product details
Frequently asked questions
What is the breaking capacity of 5SY4216-7KK11?
It carries 10 kA per EN 60898 and 20 kA per IEC 60947-2, giving you flexibility for both standard and industrial fault-level coordination.
What temperature range does this MCB handle?
Operating range is -40 °C to +75 °C, with derated current above 35 °C — at 60 °C the continuous rating drops to 12.86 A.
Will 5SY4216-7KK11 drop into a panel specified around 5SY7210-7CC without rewiring?
Both are 2-pole SENTRON MCBs on a 36 mm footprint with the same quick-assembly DIN-rail mount, so mechanical fit is identical. However, the 5SY7210-7CC has a different rating and characteristic — verify your load and breaking capacity requirements before swapping, as the trip curve and interrupting rating may differ.
Where can I buy 5SY4216-7KK11 and how is it quoted?
This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a request for quote (RFQ) with your target quantity and delivery window; we confirm availability and current pricing at that time.
