Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 5SY5163-6KK11 is a 1-pole miniature circuit breaker with a B tripping characteristic, rated 63 A at 35 °C and 10 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898. Rated for universal current (AC/DC), this breaker handles 63 A AC and 220 V DC. On DC circuits, polarity must be observed — the supply cord position note in the spec says AC can be wired either way, but DC needs the correct orientation to maintain arc extinction inside the chamber. That matters if you're pulling this into a DC bus or battery-backed control circuit.

The 63 A rating is at 35 °C ambient. In a typical enclosed panel running at 40 °C, the breaker is good for 59.16 A. At 50 °C it drops to 55.06 A, and at 60 °C it's 50.65 A. If your load is close to 63 A and the panel runs warm, you need to either upsize the breaker or improve ventilation — the derating curve is the deciding factor, not the nameplate number.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 5SY5163-6KK11?

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

Will 5SY5163-6KK11 drop into a panel specified around 5SY4116-6CC without rewiring?

Both are 1-pole SENTRON MCBs on a 1-module-width DIN-rail footprint, so the mechanical fit is the same. The 5SY5163-6KK11 is a 63 A B-curve; the 5SY4116-6CC is a different rating and characteristic — verify the load current and trip curve before swapping, but the panel cutout and wiring terminals are compatible.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 5SY5163-6KK11?

Siemens provides RoHS, REACH, UL, and IEC compliance documentation for the SENTRON series. This part carries ratings per EN 60898 and EN 60898-2, and is designed for railway applications with halogen-free and silicon-free construction.
