The B curve means it trips at 3–5× rated current — designed for resistive and general-purpose loads in residential and light commercial sub-distribution boards, not for motor starting or high-inrush circuits where a C or D curve would be needed to avoid nuisance tripping. The 7.5 kA interrupting rating tells you it can safely clear a fault up to that level without upstream damage; if your available fault current exceeds that, you need a higher-rated breaker upstream. The 2-pole configuration switches both line and neutral, suitable for single-phase circuits where the neutral requires overcurrent protection or for two-phase loads. ## Panel integration and mounting Snaps onto standard 35 mm DIN rail. Occupies 2 modular width units (36 mm total width). The 76 mm depth and 90 mm height fit standard distribution board enclosures; installation depth is 70 mm, so account for that behind the DIN rail. Mounting position is any — no derating needed for horizontal or inverted orientation. IP20 with connected conductors means it's protected against finger contact but not sealed against moisture; keep it inside a closed panel or enclosure. Sealable — you can lock the toggle position with a seal to prevent unauthorized switching. ## Environmental and compliance notes Rated for ambient temperature from -40 °C to 75 °C, covering most indoor and outdoor enclosure conditions. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction — no risk of corrosive off-gassing in sealed panels or near sensitive contacts. Overvoltage category III, pollution degree 2 — suitable for fixed installations in building distribution. Mechanical service life 10 000 switching cycles typical.","metaTitle":"Siemens 5SL6206-6RC SENTRON MCB, 2P, 6A, B Curve, 7.5kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 5SL6206-6RC miniature circuit breaker, 2-pole, 6 A, B characteristic, 7.5 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898.

Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or price figure is listed here."},{"question":"Will 5SL6206-6RC drop into a panel specified around 5SL3116-6MB without rewiring?","answer":"No — the 5SL6206-6RC is 2-pole and 36 mm wide (2 modular units), while the 5SL3116-6MB is 1-pole and 18 mm wide (1 modular unit). They share the same 76 mm depth and 90 mm height, so the physical envelope is compatible, but the 2-pole version needs a wider DIN-rail slot and different wiring (line + neutral vs line only). You cannot simply swap one for the other without changing the circuit topology and panel layout."},{"question":"What is 5SL6206-6RC's listed depth?","answer":"The depth is 76 mm, with an installation depth of 70 mm behind the DIN rail."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 5SL6206-6RC?","answer":"The 5SL6206-6RC carries EN 60898 certification for breaking capacity (7.5 kA). It is halogen-free and silicon-free. Overvoltage category III and pollution degree 2 are specified. RoHS and REACH compliance are standard for Siemens SENTRON products, though specific certificates are not listed in this evidence."},{"question":"What is the breaking capacity of 5SL6206-6RC?","answer":"The breaking capacity is 7.5 kA per EN 60898 at 415 V AC.
