Product details

At 4 A, this breaker protects a 3-phase load drawing roughly 2.7 kW at 400 V AC (assuming a power factor around 0.8), so size it for the continuous load, not the peak inrush. For UL-listed panels, the same part carries 5 kA per UL 1077 and CSA C22.2 No.235 — the lower figure reflects the different test protocol, not a derating. The 3-pole design switches all three phases together with a single toggle, and the neutral is not switched (no 4-pole option on this frame). The housing is IP20 with conductors connected, so it belongs inside a sealed enclosure — not on the panel face. Three modular width units (54 mm) leave room for auxiliary contacts or shunt trips on the right side; the combined terminal design accepts both busbar and cable at top and bottom without extra adapters.

Halogen-free and silicon-free construction, suitable for clean-room or food-processing environments where outgassing contaminates product or optics. Rated for ambient temperature from -40 °C to +75 °C, with humidity derating above 55 °C (95% RH at 55 °C, 55% at 70 °C, 35% at 75 °C). Vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6: ±1 mm at 5–25 Hz, 50 m/s² at 25–150 Hz.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SY6304-8CC and what is the lead time?

The part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm delivery commitment.

What is the closest functional second-source to 5SY6304-8CC?

The 5SY4304-7CV is a 3-pole D-curve 4 A MCB in the same SENTRON family, but it carries a 10 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 versus the 6 kA rating of the 5SY6304-8CC. The 5SY4304-7CV also has a different housing width (2 modular units vs 3) and does not accept the same auxiliary accessories. For a direct drop-in replacement without rewiring, the 5SY6304-8CC is the correct part.

Will 5SY6304-8CC drop into a panel specified around 5SY4304-7CV?

No — the 5SY6304-8CC is 3 modular units wide (54 mm) while the 5SY4304-7CV is 2 units wide (36 mm). The DIN-rail clip positions differ, and the busbar comb footprint is incompatible. Rewiring the busbar and possibly the enclosure gland plate is required.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SY6304-8CC?

The part carries CE marking per the Low Voltage Directive and is designed to EN 60898. It also holds UL 1077 and CSA C22.2 No.235 recognition at 5 kA. RoHS and REACH declarations are standard from Siemens for current-production SENTRON components.
