Where it sits in the control system
The KTH5W-2N1216D is the device-level element in a SICK circuit breaker installation. It receives the field signals and control supply listed above — 10...30 V DC (IEC 60947-5-2) — and switches or conditions the load within the <= 440 V AC ratings shown in the Specifications table. Wiring and protective devices are sized to those same numbers, not to a generic assumption.
Typical installations place it in distribution boards, motor protection circuits, panel feeders, where the unit is matched to the original catalog number and the enclosure provides • Fast communication via Ethernet Powerlink support. Record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate of the installed unit before specifying a like-for-like spare.
Selection notes for SICK KTH5W-2N1216D
SICK KTH5W-2N1216D — Sensor or detector for object detection, distance measurement and status feedback on production lines. The figures below are taken from the specification table on this page for catalog number KTH5W-2N1216D; confirm the installed unit's part number and revision so the replacement matches both electrically and mechanically.
- Rated operational voltage: <= 440 V AC — Use it as the reference when cross-checking a current-production equivalent.
- Output stage: PNP / NPN — Verify it in the project documentation before confirming the order.
- Dimensions (H x W x D): 31.5 mm x 21 mm x 12 mm — Check this value against the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
- Breaking capacity Icu/Ics: • Fast switching frequency of 25 kHz — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.
For a discontinued unit, match function and electrical ratings rather than the label alone.
Common questions about KTH5W-2N1216D
Q.Which value is published under breaking capacity Icu/Ics for catalog number KTH5W-2N1216D?
For KTH5W-2N1216D, breaking capacity Icu/Ics is given as • Fast switching frequency of 25 kHz. Confirm this figure against the unit currently in the panel.
Q.Before ordering KTH5W-2N1216D, which sensing distance Sn entry should be checked?
The sensing distance Sn entry quoted above is • Very low jitter (< 10 μs). Use the value as the reference when sourcing a current-production equivalent.
Q.Where can I find the output stage data for KTH5W-2N1216D?
It is listed in the specification table for SICK KTH5W-2N1216D as PNP / NPN. Check the revision of the installed unit if the catalog number has been superseded.
Q.Can the KTH5W-2N1216D replace the unit currently installed in my panel?
Compare catalog number KTH5W-2N1216D and the ratings above with the nameplate of the installed device. A current-production equivalent is selected by function and electrical rating, not by the label alone.
Q.What should I include in an enquiry for KTH5W-2N1216D?
Send the full catalog number KTH5W-2N1216D, the required quantity and a photo of the nameplate. Stock, lead time and the applicable compliance documents can then be confirmed for SICK KTH5W-2N1216D.
