This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent industrial-automation distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time; no stock or lead-time figure is published here.
6 kA per EN 60898, 15 kA per IEC 60947-2, and 5 kA per UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235. The IEC 60947-2 rating governs panel SCCR in most industrial switchgear.
Both are 4-pole SENTRON MCBs with the same DIN-rail footprint and 72 mm width. The 5SY6625-8 is a 25 A D-curve; the 5SY4140-7 is a lower-current variant. If the panel bus and load circuit are rated for 25 A and need a D-curve, the swap is direct — same terminal range (0.75–35 mm²) and same mounting. Check the load's inrush characteristic: the D-curve on the 5SY6625-8 is appropriate for motor or transformer loads, while the 5SY4140-7 may carry a different curve.
