Product details

It carries a 15 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898-1 and a 50 kA rating per IEC 60947-2 / UL1077, so it can interrupt fault currents up to those levels without welding or cascading to upstream gear. Rated current is temperature-sensitive: 1.6 A at 35 °C, derated to 1.52 A at 40 °C, 1.44 A at 50 °C, and 1.36 A at 60 °C. The 1.6 A C-curve is a niche rating, typically used for small control transformers, signal power supplies, or lighting circuits where the load is well under 2 A but the inrush is moderate.

Snap-on DIN rail mount, any orientation. Depth is 76 mm (installation depth 70 mm), height 90 mm, width 36 mm — that's 2 modular units. IP20 with conductors connected. Sealable, halogen-free, silicon-free — useful for food, pharma, or clean-room panels where outgassing is a concern. Touch protection is built in (product feature). The quick assembly system means it clips onto the rail and stays without a screwdriver — handy for panel builders cranking through a BOM.

Rated under dual standards: IEC / EN 60898-1 (the household-and-similar MCB standard) and IEC / EN 60947-2 / UL1077 (the industrial breaker standard). That dual rating is the key: the 15 kA figure applies under the domestic standard, while the 50 kA figure applies under the industrial standard — meaning this breaker is tested to a higher fault level in industrial panels. Suitable for mechanical engineering and industry per the manufacturer's designation.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 5SY7215-7 and get a price?

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

What are the key ratings of the 5SY7215-7?

Rated 1.6 A at AC, C-curve trip characteristic, 2-pole, 15 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898-1 and 50 kA per IEC 60947-2 / UL1077. Width 36 mm (2 MW), depth 76 mm, IP20.

Will the 5SY7215-7 drop into a panel specified around the 5SY7210-7CC without rewiring?

Yes — both are 2-pole, 36 mm wide SENTRON MCBs with the same DIN-rail footprint and terminal layout. The 5SY7215-7 is a 1.6 A C-curve; the 5SY7210-7CC is a lower-current variant. No rewiring needed for the swap.
