Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 5SY6263-7CC is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker with a C tripping characteristic, rated 6 kA per EN 60898 and 5 kA per UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No.235.

Rated at 400 V AC (440 V max multi-phase or single-phase) and 50/60 Hz, this MCB handles standard industrial supply voltages across most regions. The 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 covers typical panel fault levels; the 5 kA rating per UL 1077 / CSA 235 confirms it for North American supplementary protection applications. Mounting position is any, so vertical or horizontal DIN-rail orientation works. The quick assembly system and combined terminals (top and bottom) speed up busbar and wiring connections.

Where it fits — panel integration

Vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6 (±1 mm at 5–25 Hz, 50 m/s² at 25–150 Hz) confirms it for machine-mounted cabinets on conveyors or compressors.

Temperature derating and ambient limits

Rated for ambient temperature from -40 °C to 75 °C, with derating above 55 °C: max 95% humidity at 55 °C, 55% at 70 °C, 35% at 75 °C. The C-curve trip thresholds shift with temperature — if the panel runs hot (near 75 °C), expect the breaker to trip slightly faster at a given overload.

What is the closest functional alternative to 5SY6263-7CC?

The 5SY5240-7 is a sibling in the same SENTRON 5SY series but with a B-curve characteristic (3–5x In trip) versus the C-curve (5–10x In) of the 5SY6263-7CC. For motor or transformer loads with moderate inrush, the C-curve is the correct choice; the B-curve would nuisance-trip on startup. They share the same 2-pole, 2 MW footprint and DIN-rail mount, so a swap is mechanically possible but electrically mismatched unless the load is purely resistive.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SY6263-7CC?

The 5SY6263-7CC carries ratings per EN 60898 (6 kA) and UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No.235 (5 kA), with overvoltage category III and pollution degree 3. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. Standard Siemens documentation includes the datasheet, declaration of conformity, and RoHS/REACH compliance statements available on request.

Will 5SY6263-7CC drop into a panel specified for 5SY5240-7 without rewiring?

Mechanically yes — same 2 MW (36 mm) DIN-rail footprint, same depth and terminal layout. Electrically the C-curve is a different trip characteristic from the B-curve; verify the load inrush before swapping. If the original spec called for a B-curve (resistive or lighting loads), the C-curve may not trip fast enough on short-circuit for that application.
