Product details

The Siemens 5SY4216-8CC is a 2-pole SENTRON miniature circuit breaker rated 16 A at 35 °C with a D tripping characteristic and a 10 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898. At 40 °C the rating derates to 15.04 A, at 50 °C to 14.02 A, so panel ambient temperature must be factored into the branch-circuit sizing.

The 5SY4216-8CC occupies 2 modular width units (36 mm) on a DIN rail, with a depth of 76 mm and an installation depth of 70 mm. It mounts in any position, which simplifies layout in crowded enclosures.

The sealable design allows lockout/tagout compliance. Touch protection is integrated on the terminals. Vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6 covers ±1 mm at 5–25 Hz and 50 m/s² at 25–150 Hz — adequate for machine-mounted panels on pumps or conveyors.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY4216-8CC?

10 kA per EN 60898 and 5 kA per UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235. The 10 kA rating covers the majority of industrial panel fault levels; the 5 kA UL listing satisfies North American branch-circuit requirements.

What is the difference between 5SY4216-8CC and 5SY7210-7CC?

The 5SY7210-7CC is a 1-pole 10 A B-curve breaker; the 5SY4216-8CC is a 2-pole 16 A D-curve. They share the same SENTRON platform, footprint, and accessories, but the pole count, current rating, and trip curve differ — they are not drop-in substitutes without rewiring and coordination review.

Where can I buy 5SY4216-8CC?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What compliance documentation is available for 5SY4216-8CC?

The breaker carries EN 60898 and UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235 approvals. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. Standard Siemens declarations (CE, UKCA, RoHS, REACH) are available on request.
