Its 4.5 kA interrupting capacity per EN 60898 and 5 kA per IEC 60947-2 cover standard lighting, socket-outlet, and light commercial loads where fault levels stay under that threshold. The C-curve (trips at 5–10× rated current) suits circuits with moderate inrush — think small motors, transformers, or groups of LED drivers — where a B-curve would nuisance-trip but a D-curve would delay too long for cable protection. The 6 A rating protects 1.5 mm² copper conductors in standard PVC installation methods. At 400 V AC, the 4.5 kA (EN 60898) / 5 kA (IEC 60947-2) SCCR means the breaker clears faults up to that level without welding contacts or cascading failure upstream — verify your prospective short-circuit current at the panelboard before specifying. The 3P+N design switches all three phases and switches the neutral, which is required in some regional wiring rules (e.g., UK, Australia) for final subcircuits where the neutral is not solidly bonded. Any mounting position is permitted. Sealable with a lockable cover to prevent unauthorized operation. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction reduces corrosive gas risk in confined enclosures.","metaTitle":"Siemens 5SL3606-7 SENTRON MCB, 6A C-Curve 3P+N 4.5kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 5SL3606-7 miniature circuit breaker, 400V AC, 6A, C-curve, 3P+N, 4.5kA (EN 60898).

This part is sourced and quoted to order through independent distribution; current pricing and stock levels are confirmed at quote time."},{"question":"What is the difference between 5SL3606-7 and 5SL4363-7?","answer":"The 5SL4363-7 is a 3-pole (3P) version with a higher interrupting capacity (10 kA per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2) and a wider power loss per pole (5 W). The 5SL3606-7 is 3P+N, 4.5/5 kA, with lower per-pole losses (1.6 W). They share the same 76 mm depth and 90 mm height, but the 5SL4363-7 is 54 mm wide (3 modules) versus 72 mm (4 modules) for the 5SL3606-7. They are not drop-in interchangeable without rewiring the neutral."},{"question":"Will 5SL3606-7 drop into a panel specified around 5SL4363-7 without rewiring?","answer":"No. The 5SL3606-7 is 4-pole (3P+N) and occupies 72 mm (4 modules) versus the 5SL4363-7's 3-pole (3P) 54 mm (3 modules). The neutral conductor must be routed through the switched neutral pole on the 5SL3606-7, which the 5SL4363-7 does not have. Panel space and wiring both differ."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SL3606-7?","answer":"Siemens provides a declaration of conformity for the SENTRON 5SL series covering the Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU) and relevant harmonized standards (EN 60898-1, EN 60947-2). The breaker carries CE marking. RoHS and REACH compliance is standard for current-production SENTRON products."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/5SL3606-7","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/siemens/5SL3606-7 when reusing this data.
