Product details

20 A D-curve MCB for motor and inductive loads

Breaking capacity is 6 kA per EN 60898 and 5 kA per UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235, so it handles fault currents up to that level without upstream coordination issues in most distribution panels.

Panel fit and wiring constraints

Footprint is 72 mm wide (4 width units), 90 mm high, 76 mm deep, with an installation depth of 70 mm.

The part is sealable and touch-protected per the design. Overvoltage category III means it is rated for fixed-installation distribution boards, not for downstream equipment-level protection. Humidity tolerance is 95% at 55 °C, derating to 35% at 75 °C.

Frequently asked questions

What wire sizes does the 5SY6420-8CC accept?

Solid or stranded copper from 0.75 mm² to 35 mm². The combined top and bottom terminals handle the full range. Torque terminals to 2.5–3.5 N·m.
