Product details

MCB for panel builders — dual breaking capacity, neutral switched

The breaker is rated for 10 kA breaking capacity under EN 60898 and 20 kA under IEC 60947-2, giving the specifier a single part that satisfies both residential-distribution and industrial-panel requirements without oversizing.

The 5SY4516-6 occupies 2 modular width units (36 mm) on a DIN rail, with a depth of 76 mm and an installation depth of 70 mm. The quick-assembly fastening system snaps onto the rail without tools. Terminals accept combined top and bottom wiring, and the supply cord position is any, which simplifies busbar routing in crowded enclosures.

The breaker is certified to IEC / EN 60898-1, IEC / EN 60947-2, and UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235. It is halogen-free and silicon-free.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SY4516-6 and get a price?

The 5SY4516-6 is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — stock levels and lead time are confirmed at quote time.

What is the closest functional alternative to 5SY4516-6?

The 5SY4116-7CV is the closest functional peer — same SENTRON family, same 2-pole 1P+N format and B-curve. The 5SY4516-6 carries higher breaking capacity (20 kA vs 10 kA under IEC 60947-2), so it is the heavier-duty option. Both share the same 36 mm width and DIN-rail footprint, but verify the breaking capacity requirement before substituting downward.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SY4516-6?

The breaker is certified to IEC / EN 60898-1, IEC / EN 60947-2, and UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. Standard documentation includes the declaration of conformity and the datasheet with the full temperature and humidity derating curves.
