Product details

Its C-curve tripping characteristic means it tolerates moderate inrush — typical for motor starters, contactor coils, and small transformers — without nuisance trips, while still clearing faults fast. Rated 15 kA per EN 60898-1 and 40 kA per IEC 60947-2, it covers most panel fault-current levels up to 400 V AC. The 36 mm width occupies two modular units on a DIN rail, matching standard panel layout grids.

Two breaking-capacity ratings let you size the part to the applicable standard. Under EN 60898-1 (household and similar installations) it's rated 15 kA; under IEC 60947-2 (industrial) it's rated 40 kA. For UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No.235 supplemental protection, it carries 5 kA. The 40 kA industrial rating gives headroom for high-fault panels — useful when coordinating with an upstream 63 A or 100 A molded-case breaker without cascading. The C-curve magnetic trip (5–10× In) pairs well with motor branch circuits where the starting surge is short but significant.

Any mounting position. Depth 76 mm, height 90 mm, width 36 mm — two modular units. Pollution degree 3 handles conductive dust environments typical of industrial control rooms.

Compliant with IEC / EN 60898-1, IEC / EN 60947-2, and UL 1077. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction. Overvoltage category III — suitable for fixed-installation distribution boards. Energy limitation class 3 — limits let-through energy in a fault. Sealable for lockout/tagout procedures.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SY7203-7 and what is the lead time?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time.

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY7203-7?

15 kA per EN 60898-1, 40 kA per IEC 60947-2, and 5 kA per UL 1077.

What is the depth of 5SY7203-7?

76 mm.

What is the width of 5SY7203-7?

36 mm — two modular units on a DIN rail.

Will 5SY7203-7 drop into a panel specified around 5SY4140-7 without rewiring?

Both are 2-pole SENTRON MCBs with the same 36 mm width and DIN-rail mount, so physical fit is identical. However, verify the rated current and breaking capacity of the original 5SY4140-7 against the 5SY7203-7's ratings — the C-curve and pole count match, but the amp rating may differ.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SY7203-7?

The part is compliant with IEC / EN 60898-1, IEC / EN 60947-2, and UL 1077. Halogen-free and silicon-free. Standard documentation includes the declaration of conformity; specific RoHS/REACH statements are available on request.
