Product details

At DC, it carries a 15 kA interrupting rating per IEC 60947-2 up to 60 V, with a maximum DC voltage of 72 V. That dual-standard certification means the same unit satisfies both wiring-rule (EN 60898-1) and industrial (IEC 60947-2) requirements — useful when a panel must meet both a local code and a machine-builder spec.

Snap-on DIN-rail mounting in any orientation. The 36 mm width occupies 2 modular units on a standard DIN rail — plan for that slot in your panel layout. Neutral conductor switching is built in, so no separate switched-neutral accessory is needed for single-phase final circuits.

Vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6 covers ±1 mm at 5–25 Hz and 50 m/s² at 25–150 Hz — adequate for machine-mounted panels on pumps, compressors, and conveyors.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SY6501-7 and what is the lead time?

The 5SY6501-7 is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm lead-time and price.

What are the key ratings of 5SY6501-7?

C-curve trip characteristic, 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898-1, 30 kA per IEC 60947-2, 15 kA at DC per IEC 60947-2, rated voltage 230 V AC / 60 V DC, 1P+N configuration in a 36 mm wide housing.

Will 5SY6501-7 drop into a panel specified around 5SY4140-7?

Both are 2-module (36 mm wide) SENTRON MCBs with the same DIN-rail footprint, so mechanical fit is identical. The deciding difference is the trip curve: 5SY6501-7 is C-curve, while 5SY4140-7 is B-curve. If the panel design calls for B-curve (3–5× In) for resistive or lighting loads, substituting a C-curve may cause nuisance tripping on low inrush. Verify the load type before swapping.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SY6501-7?

The 5SY6501-7 carries dual-standard certification to IEC/EN 60898-1 and IEC/EN 60947-2, plus UL 1077. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. Standard Siemens declarations of conformity (CE, UKCA) and RoHS/REACH statements are available on request.
