It occupies one modular unit (18 mm wide) on standard DIN rail, making it a direct fit for residential and infrastructure distribution boards where branch-circuit overcurrent protection is needed for general-purpose loads like lighting, socket outlets, and small appliances. ## Ratings and derating At 30 °C ambient the breaker carries its full 8 A rating. At 40 °C it derates to 7.52 A, at 50 °C to 7 A, and at 60 °C to 6.45 A. If the panel runs warm — near a transformer or in a crowded enclosure — the effective trip point shifts; size the upstream load against the derated figure at your expected ambient, not the 30 °C nameplate. The C characteristic means the magnetic trip fires at 5 to 10 times rated current — typical for circuits with moderate inrush from small motors or capacitive loads. The 6 kA breaking capacity at 250 V AC per EN 60898 covers most residential and light-commercial fault levels; verify the prospective short-circuit current at the installation point stays under that limit. ## Mounting and integration Snaps onto standard DIN rail (EN 60715) in any mounting position. Depth is 76 mm, width 18 mm, height 90 mm; the required installation depth behind the panel is 70 mm. One modular-width unit leaves adjacent slots free for other SENTRON devices. The top and bottom terminals are not combined — each pole terminates independently. Touch protection is built in, and the breaker is sealable for tamper-proofing after commissioning. Rated for overvoltage category III and pollution degree 2, which covers fixed-installation distribution boards. IP20 with connected conductors — suitable for enclosed panels, not for washdown or outdoor exposure.","metaTitle":"Siemens 5SL6008-7 SENTRON MCB, 8A C-Curve, 6kA, 1-module","metaDescription":"Siemens 5SL6008-7 SENTRON miniature circuit breaker, 8A rated, C tripping characteristic, 6kA breaking capacity per EN 60898. 18mm wide, DIN rail mount.
