Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 5SY4220-6CC is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker rated 20 A at 35 °C with a B tripping characteristic and a 10 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898. At 40 °C the breaker derates to 18.8 A, at 50 °C to 17.52 A, and at 55 °C to 16.84 A — so if the panel ambient runs hot, size the load against the derated figure, not the 35 °C nameplate. It's halogen-free and silicon-free, which matters if the panel serves a clean room or semiconductor fab where outgassing can contaminate optics or wafers.

The closest functional peer in the SENTRON family is the 5SY7210-7CC, also a 2-pole MCB but with a C tripping characteristic (5–10× In) and a higher 20 kA breaking capacity. If your panel was specified around the 5SY7210-7CC, the 5SY4220-6CC will drop into the same DIN-rail footprint and same 2 MW width — no rewiring needed — but the B curve trips faster on moderate overloads, and the 10 kA SCCR may not coordinate with a high-fault upstream device. Use the 5SY4220-6CC where the fault level at the panel is confirmed ≤10 kA and the load doesn't produce a significant inrush (no motor starting, no capacitive loads).

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY4220-6CC?

Rated 10 kA per EN 60898, which covers the majority of final subcircuits in commercial and light industrial panels.

Will 5SY4220-6CC drop into a panel specified around 5SY7210-7CC?

Yes — both are 2-pole, 2 MW units on the same DIN-rail footprint. The difference is the tripping curve (B vs C) and the breaking capacity (10 kA vs 20 kA). No rewiring needed, but verify the fault level at the panel does not exceed 10 kA.

Where can I buy 5SY4220-6CC?
