The Siemens 5SY6216-7 is a robust miniature circuit breaker designed to provide reliable overcurrent protection in a variety of applications. Engineered for quick assembly and easy installation on a DIN rail, this two-pole circuit breaker is suitable for both AC and DC operations. With a rated voltage of 400 V and a 6 kA breaking capacity according to EN 60898, it ensures a high level of safety and continuity in electrical circuits.
This circuit breaker features a C tripping characteristic, making it ideal for protecting general circuits where medium levels of inrush current are expected. The 16 A current rating allows it to be used in a wide range of industrial and commercial settings. The device's compact dimensions, with a width of only 36 mm per pole, make it an efficient choice for space-constrained environments.
Constructed with safety and durability in mind, the 5SY6216-7 is sealable, halogen-free, and silicon-free, ensuring it meets stringent industry standards for material safety. The product is also designed to withstand a wide range of environmental conditions, operating reliably at temperatures from -25 °C to +55 °C and during storage from -40 °C to +75 °C.
The mechanical design of the Siemens 5SY6216-7 includes combined terminals at both the top and bottom for flexible installation options, and it is capable of accommodating a broad range of conductor cross-sections. The quick assembly system and the ability to mount in any position provide added convenience during setup.
Overall, the Siemens 5SY6216-7 miniature circuit breaker is a dependable and efficient solution for protecting electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits, ensuring the safety and reliability of electrical installations.
