Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 5SY6040-7 is a 1P+N miniature circuit breaker rated 40 A with a C-curve trip characteristic, breaking 6 kA per EN 60898 at 230 V AC. The 40 A rating at 30 °C derates to 38 A at 40 °C and 37.2 A at 45 °C, so if your panel runs hot, factor that in. The 1P+N pole configuration switches the line and switches the neutral but does not protect the neutral — it's a switched-neutral design, common in single-phase final circuits where you need isolation on both conductors.

Sealable, halogen-free, silicon-free construction suits environments where outgassing matters (clean rooms, medical, food processing). Touch protection is built in, so you don't need separate finger-safe shrouds on the terminals.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY6040-7?

6 kA per EN 60898 at 230 V AC. That's the standard breaking capacity for this series — suitable for most residential and light commercial final circuits where the prospective short-circuit current stays under 6 kA.

Will 5SY6040-7 drop into a panel specified around 5SY6040-6?

Yes — same 18 mm width, same DIN-rail mounting, same 1P+N pole configuration. The difference is the current rating: 5SY6040-7 is 40 A, while 5SY6040-6 is 6 A. If the panel was wired for 6 A loads, dropping in a 40 A breaker means the cable and downstream devices must be rated for 40 A — the breaker itself fits the same footprint.
