Product details

The 5SY4608-7CC is a Siemens SENTRON miniature circuit breaker — 4-pole (3P+N), C-curve, rated 8 A at AC.

DIN-rail fit and thermal profile

Ambient range is -40 to 75 °C, but humidity must be managed: max 95% RH up to 55 °C, then derated to 35% at 75 °C. If your furnace control cabinet sits near a kiln or melt zone, that 75 °C ceiling is the hard limit — and at that temperature the humidity envelope is tight.

Approvals and compliance documentation

Rated breaking capacity is 10 kA per EN 60898 and 5 kA per UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235 — so it carries both IEC and North American certification for the respective standards. The product designation per IEC 81346-2 and DIN EN 61346-2 is 'F' — the standard function code for circuit protection.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY4608-7CC?

10 kA per EN 60898 and 5 kA per UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235.

Where can I buy 5SY4608-7CC and what is the lead time?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

Does 5SY4608-7CC drop into a panel specified for 5SL6008-7?

Both are 4-pole (3P+N) C-curve MCBs from the Siemens SENTRON family, sharing the same 72 mm width (4 MW) and DIN-rail mounting. The key difference is breaking capacity: 5SY4608-7CC is rated 10 kA per EN 60898, while the 5SL6008-7 is typically a lower-breaking-capacity variant. If the panel SCCR requirement is 10 kA or higher, the 5SY is the correct fit; if a lower SCCR was specified, verify coordination before substituting.
