Siemens 5SY17042 interruttore automatico magnetotermico 1P Z 4A 10kA con contatto ausiliario 1NO

In industrial control panels and building installations, the Siemens 5SY17042 miniature circuit breaker protects circuits against overload and short circuit, while its integrated auxiliary switch signals the breaker state to a PLC or monitoring system. The 1-pole unit with Z tripping characteristic is rated for 4 A and a switching capacity of 10 kA, suitable for 230/400 V AC networks at 50/60 Hz. Mounting on a standard DIN rail (EN 60715) and screw terminals simplify installation.
