Product details

Breaking capacity and compliance

The 5SY4420-5: Tripping characteristic A. Neutral conductor not switched.

Physical fit and peer similarity

Width is 72 mm (4 width units), depth 76 mm, installation depth 70 mm — standard for the 5SY4 family. The footprint is identical to peers 5SY4463-8, 5SY4350-5, and 5SY4406-7, so swapping across those ratings within the same panel layout is possible provided the electrical ratings match the application. IP20 protection with connected conductors; halogen-free and silicon-free construction. Operating temperature range -40 °C to 75 °C, derated at high humidity according to the curves (95% RH up to 55 °C, 55% up to 70 °C, 35% up to 75 °C).

Frequently asked questions

Will the 5SY4420-5 physically replace a 5SY4463-8 in an existing panel?

Yes, both are 4-pole 5SY4 breakers with identical dimensions (72 mm width, same mounting depth). The electrical ratings differ — verify the load current and trip curve required before swapping.
