Siemens 5SJ41167HG41 MCB — 1P 16A C-Trip Circuit Breaker
Overview
Installed in a DIN-rail distribution panel, the 5SJ41167HG41 is a single-pole, lever-operated miniature circuit breaker from Siemens' 5SJ4 family. The C-trip characteristic places the magnetic trip range in the mid-range for protection of combined resistive and inductive branch circuits in industrial and commercial low-voltage switchgear.

Siemens 5SJ4 Family Context
The 5SJ4 series encompasses single-pole through four-pole frame sizes with both C-trip and D-trip characteristics. Order codes encode pole count, current rating, trip characteristic, and approvals. The "7HG41" segment places this part in the 240 V, 14 kA short-circuit rating tier with C-trip calibration.
Engineering Verification Checklist
- System nominal voltage is compatible with the breaker rating (check coordination documents)
- Selected current rating (16 A) matches branch load requirements
- C-trip characteristic is appropriate for the downstream load type (combined resistive/inductive)
- Single-pole configuration is sufficient for the protected circuit
- DIN-rail enclosure is confirmed in the distribution panel design
- Applicable agency approvals (CCC, CE, CSA, EAC, UL489, VDE) satisfy local regulatory requirements
- Lever actuator meets operational accessibility requirements for manual reset
- RoHS non-compliant status is acceptable for the target market and installation region

Why 5SJ4116-7HG40 is similar: Shares the same 16 A rating, single-pole configuration, and DIN-rail bulk-pack format. Both carry C-trip characteristics; the primary difference lies in the final MPN digit variant with no voltage distinction in the title suffix.
Why 5SJ41167HG42 is similar: Matches on 16 A, single-pole, DIN-rail mounting, and C-trip type. Contrasts in voltage rating (277 V vs 240 V) and enclosure packaging (Box vs Bulk).
Why 5SJ41168HG41 is similar: Shares full dimensional and mounting parity with the primary. The "D-TRIP" designation in the title indicates a higher magnetic trip range, making it suitable for more inductive loads versus the C-trip calibration of the primary.
