Product details

The 32 A rating on a 2-pole frame covers single-phase 230 V or split-phase 400 V loads up to that current. Rated 400 V AC and 440 V DC, with a maximum DC voltage of 500 V, so it handles standard 400 V three-phase line-to-line or 440 V battery-bank isolation without derating. Universal-current design (AC/DC) simplifies stocking — one part covers both supply types, but note the DC polarity marking on the supply cord position; polarity matters on DC installation.

Panel integration and environment

Occupies 36 mm width — 2 width units at 18 mm each — so it fits a standard 2-pole slot in a distribution board. Combined terminals top and bottom accept solid or stranded conductors from 0.75 to 35 mm², covering everything from 1.5 mm² lighting circuits up to 10 mm² feeder tails. Sealable design allows locking the handle in OFF position for lockout/tagout compliance.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SY5232-6 and how do I get a price?

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 price and lead time.

What is 5SY5232-6's listed depth?

Overall depth is 76 mm; installation depth is 70 mm, which fits most standard distribution board cutouts.

What conductor sizes does 5SY5232-6 accept?

Solid and stranded conductors from 0.75 mm² up to 35 mm², covering common wiring from lighting circuits to main feeders.

Will 5SY5232-6 drop into a panel specified around 5SY3132-6 without rewiring?

Both are 2-pole SENTRON MCBs with the same DIN-rail footprint and terminal range, so physical fit and wiring are identical. The difference is the tripping characteristic: 5SY3132-6 uses a C-curve (5–10× In), while 5SY5232-6 uses a B-curve (3–5× In). If the original design called for a C-curve, swapping to a B-curve may cause nuisance tripping on loads with higher inrush — verify the load type before substituting.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SY5232-6?

The breaker carries EN 60898 (AC) and EN 60898-2 (DC) ratings, overvoltage category III, and is halogen-free and silicon-free. Standard Siemens declarations of conformity and material compliance (RoHS, REACH) are available through the product documentation portal.
