It breaks fault currents up to 10 kA, certified to both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 — so it covers residential/infrastructure branch circuits and industrial panel feeder protection under the same device. The 36 mm width (2 modular units) snaps onto standard DIN rail; mounting position is unrestricted, and the 70 mm installation depth leaves clearance behind a shallow enclosure cover. The C-curve means magnetic trip between 5× and 10× In — 160 to 320 A instantaneous — suited for moderate inrush loads like small motor starters, lighting banks, and transformer primaries where a B-curve would nuisance-trip. The 10 kA breaking capacity at 400 V AC is the maximum prospective fault current the breaker can safely interrupt; in a 10 kA SCCR panel, this breaker coordinates without needing an upstream current-limiting fuse for most branch circuits. Mechanical life is 10 000 cycles typical, adequate for a distribution board that sees infrequent switching; not rated for frequent motor-start duty. Snap-on DIN rail mount, any orientation. Ambient range -40 to 75 °C covers outdoor telecom cabinets and unheated plant areas. Sealable for lockout/tagout compliance. Accepts supplementary devices like shunt trips or auxiliary contacts for remote status.","metaTitle":"Siemens 5SL4232-7 SENTRON MCB, 2P C-32 A, 10 kA","metaDescription":"Siemens 5SL4232-7 SENTRON miniature circuit breaker, 2-pole, C-curve, 32 A, 10 kA per IEC/EN 60898.

It occupies 54 mm (3 MW) versus 36 mm (2 MW) for the 2-pole 5SL4232-7. If your panel was wired for a 2-pole breaker, the 3-pole unit will not drop in without rewiring and a wider DIN-rail footprint.
