Siemens 5SY6103-8 — D-curve MCB for inductive and motor loads
The Siemens 5SY6103-8 is a 1-pole miniature circuit breaker from the SENTRON 5SY6 series, rated 3 A at 400 V AC with a D tripping characteristic. Breaking capacity is 6 kA per EN 60898 for general distribution, and 30 kA per IEC 60947-2 for industrial panel duty — the higher figure is the one that governs SCCR coordination in a 400 V switchboard. IP20 with conductors connected; suitable for ambient temperatures from -25 to +55 °C and storage down to -40 °C.
Combined terminals top and bottom simplify busbar or ring-tongue wiring. Touch protection is built in — no additional finger-safe shrouds needed for the line side. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction suits clean-room or food-processing environments where outgassing matters. Rated frequency 50/60 Hz. DC rating is 72 V maximum per pole, with a DC breaking capacity of 15 kA per IEC 60947-2; UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235 rating is 5 kA at AC. Compliance documentation (RoHS, REACH, CE) is available from the manufacturer.
