Product details

It is a 2-pole unit rated 16 A with a C tripping characteristic, breaking 10 kA at 440 V DC per IEC 60947-2. The same unit also handles 400 V AC at 10 kA, making it a universal-current breaker for mixed DC/AC panels.

DC ratings and polarity

The DC side is the headline: rated voltage 440 V DC, maximum operating voltage 500 V DC. The breaking capacity at DC per IEC 60947-2 is 10 kA. Polarity must be observed when wiring — this is not a polarity-agnostic AC/DC breaker; the supply cord position matters for DC arc extinction.

Width is 36 mm (2 modular units), depth 76 mm, height 90 mm, installation depth 70 mm. Fastening is via the quick-assembly system — snap-on DIN rail, any mounting position. Sealable for tamper-proof lockout.

Environmental range

Humidity derating: 95% RH at 55 °C, 55% RH at 70 °C, 35% RH at 75 °C. Pollution degree 3 — conductive pollution expected, so the breaker is suited for industrial or traction environments where dust and condensation are present.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 5SY5216-7CC11?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the depth of 5SY5216-7CC11?

The depth is 76 mm, with an installation depth of 70 mm.

Will 5SY5216-7CC11 drop into a panel specified around 5SY5240-7 without rewiring?

Yes, both are 2-pole, 36 mm wide (2 MW), same DIN-rail quick-assembly system, same terminal layout (combined top and bottom). The footprint is identical. However, the amp rating differs (16 A vs 40 A), so the branch circuit protection must be re-evaluated.
