The Siemens 5SY4515-5 is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker (MCB) with a 2-pole 1P+N configuration, rated at 1.6 A at 35 °C with tripping characteristic A. Characteristic A means it trips magnetically at 2 to 3 times rated current — fast enough to catch short circuits in semiconductor or sensitive-load circuits without nuisance tripping on inrush.
Derating and thermal reality
The 1.6 A rating is at 35 °C ambient. At 40 °C it's 1.52 A; at 50 °C it's 1.44 A; at 60 °C it's 1.36 A. Size the upstream protection and conductor accordingly.
Installation depth 70 mm leaves room behind the busbar.
