Product details

Breaking capacity is 15 kA per EN 60898 and 25 kA per IEC 60947-2 / UL1077, so it handles fault currents up to that level without welding or cascading failure upstream — useful for industrial panels where the available fault current is known to be in that range.

Temperature derating — the real-world current

The 20 A rating holds at 35 °C ambient. Above that, the breaker derates linearly: 18.78 A at 40 °C, 18.14 A at 45 °C, 17.48 A at 50 °C, 16.8 A at 55 °C, and 16.08 A at 60 °C.

The 18 mm width means it takes up one slot in a standard distribution board. Sealable with a lockable cover if you need to prevent tampering.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings of the 5SY7120-7?

It is a 1-pole, 20 A miniature circuit breaker with C characteristic, breaking capacity 15 kA (EN 60898) / 25 kA (IEC 60947-2). It fits one modular width (18 mm) and derates above 35 °C.

Where can I buy the 5SY7120-7?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Current pricing and availability are confirmed at quote time.

Will the 5SY7120-7 drop into a panel specified for the 5SY7210-7CC?

Both are 1-pole SENTRON MCBs with the same width (18 mm) and mounting system, so the physical fit is identical. The 5SY7120-7 is a 20 A C-curve; the 5SY7210-7CC is a different rating/characteristic — verify the load current and tripping class before swapping.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for the 5SY7120-7?

The part is certified to IEC/EN 60898-1, IEC/EN 60947-2, and UL1077. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. Standard RoHS/REACH declarations are available from Siemens.
