Product details

It's a current-production part — no lifecycle concerns for a BOM freeze. Rated breaking capacity is 6 kA per EN 60898-1 and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2 / UL1077 — the higher figure matters when you need SCCR headroom for a 400 V industrial panel.

Derating and environment

At 35 °C ambient it carries the full 8 A; at 40 °C it's 7.51 A, at 50 °C it's 6.99 A, and at 55 °C it's 6.72 A. If your panel runs hot, size the load to the derated number, not the nameplate.

Halogen-free and silicon-free construction, sealable for lockout/tagout. Overvoltage category III and energy limitation class 3.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY6408-7?

6 kA per EN 60898-1 and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2 / UL1077. The 15 kA rating is the one to use for SCCR calculations in industrial gear.

What is the C-curve on this MCB?

The C characteristic trips between 5 and 10 times rated current (40–80 A for this 8 A unit). It's the standard choice for motor and transformer branch circuits where a short inrush is expected.

Where can I buy 5SY6408-7?

It's sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — send a request and I'll get you a number.
