Product details

The Siemens 5SY8201-7 is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker (MCB) — a 2-pole, C-curve unit rated 1 A at 440 V AC multi-phase, with a 70 kA breaking capacity per IEC 60947-2.

The C-curve (tripping characteristic class C) means it holds 5–10× rated current momentarily before tripping — typical for motor-starting or transformer inrush where you need a little headroom. At 1 A rated, it's sized for a control transformer primary, a small pump motor, or a lighting subcircuit. The 70 kA IEC 60947-2 rating covers AC fault conditions; on DC circuits it's rated 15 kA up to 72 V — enough for battery-backed control power or DC bus protection.

Environment and mounting

That -40 °C floor is unusual for an MCB and matters for unheated enclosures or cold-storage lines. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction, so it won't outgas in sensitive electronics areas. Depth is 76 mm (70 mm installation depth), height 90 mm — check your gland-plate clearance.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SY8201-7 and how do I get a price?

We source the 5SY8201-7 through independent distribution and quote it to order against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price.

What is 5SY8201-7's listed depth (76 mm) on this component line?

The 5SY8201-7 has a depth of 76 mm (installation depth 70 mm), width 36 mm (2 modular units), and height 90 mm.

Will 5SY8201-7 drop into a panel that was specified around 5SY7210-7CC without rewiring?

Both are 2-pole C-curve MCBs with the same 36 mm width, so they share the same DIN-rail footprint and pole count. But the 5SY8201-7 is rated 1 A with 70 kA breaking capacity, while the 5SY7210-7CC carries a different rating — verify your load current and fault current requirements before swapping. The physical fit is the same; the electrical fit depends on your circuit.
