Product details

Temperature derating — the real current rating

The 20 A rating is at 35 °C ambient. In a warm enclosure — say 50 °C — it derates to 17.7 A. At 60 °C it's 16.42 A. If you're sizing this for a hot railway cabinet near traction equipment, use the 50 °C or 55 °C column, not the headline number. The breaker also has a humidity limit: max 95% RH up to 55 °C, dropping to 35% RH at 75 °C.

It's 36 mm wide (2 modular width units), 76 mm deep, and installs in any orientation. Both top and bottom accept combined terminals, and it's IP20 with conductors connected — fine for a closed panel, not for wet locations.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source for 5SY5220-7CC12?

The 5SY5240-7 is a higher-current sibling in the same SENTRON railway DC series. It shares the same 2-pole C-curve footprint and voltage rating, so it drops into the same panel without rewiring — just check your load current against its rating.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 5SY5220-7CC12?

The breaker is halogen-free and silicon-free, and designed per railway standards. Standard Siemens SENTRON documentation includes the declaration of conformity and product certificate; check the manufacturer portal for the specific IEC/EN 60947-2 railway variant sheets.
