Product details

At 400 V AC, it interrupts fault currents up to 6 kA per EN 60898 (the standard for household and similar installations) and up to 30 kA per IEC 60947-2 (the industrial standard for switchgear and controlgear). That 30 kA SCCR gives you selectivity headroom in a distribution panel with high available fault current. On DC circuits, the interrupting capacity is 15 kA per IEC 60947-2 up to 72 V. For UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No.235 applications, it carries a 5 kA rating at AC.

Combined top and bottom terminals simplify daisy-chaining busbars or looping through. The breaker is sealable, halogen-free, and silicon-free — important for environments where outgassing can contaminate contacts or optics.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 5SY6404-8 and get a price?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through our independent distribution network. Submit a request for quote; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the 5SY6404-8's depth?

The depth is 76 mm; installation depth (into the panel) is 70 mm.

What conductor sizes does the 5SY6404-8 accept?

Solid and stranded conductors from 0.75 mm² up to 35 mm².

Will the 5SY6404-8 drop into a panel specified around the 5SY4140-7?

Both are 4-pole SENTRON MCBs sharing the same DIN-rail footprint and terminal ranges. The 5SY6404-8 is a D-curve 4 A unit; the 5SY4140-7 is a different rating/curve variant. Panel cut-out and busbar spacing are identical, so mechanical fit is the same — verify the tripping characteristic and current rating match your circuit before substitution.
