Product details

On DC circuits it's rated 15 kA up to 72 V, covering many control-voltage and battery-backed loads.

D-curve and thermal derating

Rated 1 A at 45 °C, it derates to 0.98 A at 50 °C and 0.95 A at 55 °C — a 5% drop from the 45 °C baseline, so panel ambient above 50 °C needs a one-step upsizing to the next rating. Surrounding temperature influence caps at 95% RH to 55 °C, 55% RH to 70 °C, and 35% RH to 75 °C — the breaker's maximum operating temperature is 75 °C, but humidity must drop as temperature rises to avoid internal condensation.

Mounting position is any — vertical, horizontal, or inverted — so it fits tight gland-plate layouts without derating.

Halogen-free and silicon-free construction, sealable for lockout/tagout, with touch protection per the product feature — meets the material and safety requirements for food-and-bev and semiconductor fab panels.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY8201-8?

70 kA at 440 V AC per IEC 60947-2, and 15 kA at 72 V DC — sufficient for high-fault industrial panels.

What is the difference between 5SY8201-8 and 5SY7210-7CC?

The 5SY7210-7CC is a different pole/current variant in the same SENTRON family; the 5SY8201-8 is a 2-pole 1 A D-curve breaker, while the 5SY7210-7CC is a 1-pole unit. They share the same DIN-rail footprint and terminal design, so a panel originally wired for the 5SY7210-7CC can accept the 5SY8201-8 if the circuit requires two poles and a higher breaking capacity.

Where can I buy 5SY8201-8?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What compliance documentation is available for 5SY8201-8?

The breaker carries IEC 60947-2 ratings, is halogen-free and silicon-free, and is designed for mechanical engineering/industry applications per the suitability listing. Specific RoHS/REACH/UL declarations should be requested at quote time.
