The C-curve (tripping characteristic class C) means the magnetic trip activates between 5 and 10 times the rated current — so for a 1 A breaker, instantaneous trip occurs between 5 A and 10 A. The 1.2 W power loss per pole at rated current in hot operating state is low enough that derating in a crowded DIN-rail enclosure is minimal — but if you pack 12 of these in a row, still check the ambient temperature inside the panel against the -40 to 75 °C range. ## Deployment context Snaps onto DIN rail (35 mm) and occupies 1 modular width unit (18 mm).","metaTitle":"Siemens 5SL6101-7BB SENTRON MCB, 1A C-Curve 1P 6kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 5SL6101-7BB miniature circuit breaker, 1 A, C-curve, 1-pole, 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898.

However, the 5SL6101-7BB is 1-pole only — it does not switch the neutral. If the existing panel uses the 5SL6006-7 as a single-pole device with the neutral terminal unused, the 5SL6101-7BB is a direct fit.
