Product details

It's a universal-current device, meaning it handles both 440 V DC (rated) up to 500 V DC maximum, and 400 V AC, with a breaking capacity of 10 kA per IEC 60947-2 at DC. This specific variant is designed for railway applications, which is reflected in its construction and environmental ratings. At 1.6 A, it's a fine overcurrent and short-circuit protector for a DC auxiliary circuit or a small AC control transformer on a railcar or wayside cabinet.

The terminals accept solid or stranded wire from 0.75 to 35 mm², with a screw-type tightening torque of 2.5 to 3.5 N·m (22 to 31 lbf·in). Both top and bottom terminals are combined (line/load reversible), and the unit is sealable for tamper-proofing. Rated IP20 with conductors connected, which is standard for enclosed panel gear. Touch protection is built in. Polarity must be observed on the DC supply side — it's not polarity-agnostic.

This is a current-production part (lifecycle stage: current). Humidity influence is derated: max 95% RH up to 55 °C, then down to 55% at 70 °C and 35% at 75 °C.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source to 5SY5215-7CC11?

The closest peer is the 5SY5240-7, which shares the same 2-pole, C-curve, 440 V DC / 400 V AC rating, same physical footprint (36 mm wide, 76 mm deep), and same terminal range. The key difference is the current rating: 5SY5240-7 is a higher-current variant. For a 1.6 A application, the 5SY5215-7CC11 is the correct choice; the 5SY5240-7 would not provide the same overcurrent protection at that low trip point.

Will 5SY5215-7CC11 drop into a panel specified around 5SY5240-7 without rewiring?

Yes, mechanically and electrically it's a direct drop-in. Same mounting footprint (2 width units, 36 mm), same terminal range (0.75 to 35 mm²), same DC polarity requirement. The only difference is the current rating — the 5SY5215-7CC11 is 1.6 A, the 5SY5240-7 is a higher rating. If the circuit was designed for 1.6 A, this is the correct part.
