Product details

It carries a 15 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898-1 and 25 kA per IEC 60947-2, with a 15 kA DC rating per IEC 60947-2. The 2-module-width (36 mm) body snaps onto DIN rail and accepts any mounting position, making it a straightforward drop-in for panel builds or replacement work.

The 5SY7216-6 occupies 2 modular width units (36 mm) on DIN rail, with a depth of 76 mm and an installation depth of 70 mm. The quick-assembly fastening method and combined top/bottom terminals simplify panel wiring.

Rated for AC operation at 400/440 V and DC up to 72 V. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction supports clean-room or sensitive-environment installations.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SY7216-6 and how do I get a price?

This part is available to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current pricing and availability — confirmed at quote time.

What is 5SY7216-6's breaking capacity?

Rated 15 kA per EN 60898-1, 25 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC, and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2 at DC. Also carries a 5 kA rating per UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No.235.

What compliance documentation does 5SY7216-6 carry?

It is certified to IEC / EN 60898-1, IEC / EN 60947-2, and UL 1077. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction is confirmed. The product is sealable for tamper-proof installations.

Will 5SY7216-6 drop into a panel specified around 5SY4140-7 without rewiring?

Both are 2-pole SENTRON MCBs in the same 2-MW (36 mm) footprint, so the mechanical fit is identical. However, the 5SY7216-6 is a B-curve device while the 5SY4140-7 is a C-curve — verify the trip characteristic matches your load's inrush before swapping. Terminal positions and wiring are the same.
