Overview
The Siemens 5SJ42167HG41 is a 2-pole, 16 A thermal-magnetic miniature circuit breaker from the 5SJ4 family. The "C" in the type designation indicates a trip characteristic suited for slightly inductive loads — the magnetic trip band for C-curve devices is approximately 5–10× the rated current. The 14 kA interrupting rating covers the majority of low-fault-current distribution scenarios in commercial and light-industrial panelwork.
Actuation is via a front-facing lever. The device ships in bulk packaging and carries multi-standard certifications including UL (implied UL489 scope), VDE, CCC, CSA, CE, and EAC, which supports use in export equipment and multi-region installations. RoHS compliance is marked non-compliant, which is common in industrial-grade components where specific alloy formulations in the trip mechanism are used.

Why They Are Catalog-Similar
- 5SJ4216-7HG42: Matches 5SJ42167HG41 in brand, current rating, pole count, and C-trip characteristic. The voltage rating is higher (480/277 V) and the interrupting rating is lower (10 kA); the package style differs (Box vs. Bulk).
- 5SJ42168HG41: Matches in brand, voltage class, poles, mounting, and 14 kA rating. The D-trip characteristic provides a higher magnetic threshold (10–20× In), which suits highly inductive loads such as motors or transformers where C-curve nuisance tripping is a concern.
- 5SJ42187HG41: Matches 5SJ42167HG41 across voltage, poles, mounting, trip characteristic, and interrupting rating. The only parametric difference is a 15 A vs. 16 A current rating — a one-step adjustment that may suit downsized branch protection with preserved coordination margins.
