Product details

Siemens 5SY7520-8 — SENTRON MCB, 20 A, D-curve

Thermal derating and ambient limits

Rated current holds at 20 A up to 35 °C ambient. Above that, derate 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 breaker's operating range spans -40 °C to 75 °C, with humidity limits of 95% up to 55 °C, 55% up to 70 °C, and 35% up to 75 °C.

Mounting and wiring notes

Snap-on DIN rail mount, any orientation. The breaker is sealable (lockable in the OFF position) and includes touch protection on the line-side terminals.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SY7520-8 and get a price?

The 5SY7520-8 is sourced to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — confirmed at quote time, not from a static listing.

What is the closest functional second-source to 5SY7520-8?

The 5SY7210-7CC is a functional peer in the same SENTRON family, also a 2-pole D-curve MCB. The delta is the rated current — 5SY7520-8 is 20 A, while 5SY7210-7CC is a different amp rating. Check the specific load current before substituting; the form factor and breaking capacity are comparable.

Will 5SY7520-8 drop into a panel specified around 5SY7210-7CC?

Yes, the 5SY7520-8 shares the same 2-module-wide DIN-rail footprint (36 mm width, 76 mm depth) and terminal layout as the 5SY7210-7CC. No rewiring or busbar repositioning needed — the swap is form-fit-function identical aside from the current rating.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SY7520-8?

The 5SY7520-8 carries ratings per EN 60898 (15 kA) and IEC 60947-2 (25 kA), overvoltage category III, pollution degree 3, and IP20 with connected conductors. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. Standard Siemens declarations of conformity (CE/UKCA) and material compliance (RoHS, REACH) are available on request.
