Product details

Rated for 230 V AC single-phase (250 V max) and 60 V DC (72 V max), so it covers standard single-phase lighting and receptacle circuits as well as DC control loops up to 60 V — but not three-phase line-to-line applications above 250 V.

Sealable cover allows the installer to lock settings after commissioning.

Compliant with IEC/EN 60898-1 for residential MCB duty and IEC/EN 60947-2 / UL 1077 for industrial supplementary protection — the dual certification means it can be specified for either a domestic consumer unit or an industrial panel, but the applicable breaking capacity and standard must match the installation's requirements. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction, suitable for clean-room or sensitive electronic environments where outgassing must be minimized. Vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6 covers ±1 mm at 5–25 Hz and 50 m/s² at 25–150 Hz — adequate for machine-mounted enclosures.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SY7516-7 and how do I get a price?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time; the part is sourced to order through independent distribution channels.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SY7516-7?

The part carries dual certification to IEC/EN 60898-1 and IEC/EN 60947-2 / UL 1077. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. RoHS/REACH declarations are standard for the SENTRON series.

Will 5SY7516-7 drop into a panel specified around 5SY4116-7CV without rewiring?

Both are 2-pole 1P+N C-curve MCBs with the same 2 MW width (36 mm) and DIN-rail mount. The 5SY7516-7 carries higher breaking capacity (25 kA vs the 5SY4116-7CV's lower rating) and is the physically compatible upgrade — no rewiring needed, but verify the downstream SCCR coordination.
