The Siemens 3VA4135-5ED24-3AA0 is a 2-pole circuit breaker from the 3VA4 family, built on a UL Frame 125 platform. It provides line protection with a TM210 thermal-magnetic trip unit, fixed at 35 A overload (Ir) and a short-circuit pickup (Ii) of 10× In. The breaking capacity is rated 35 kA at 480 V, which puts it in the M class for this frame — suitable for downstream feeder protection in a panel where fault currents are moderate but not extreme. This part carries Product Class C designation, meaning it is manufactured to order and cannot be returned or reused. That matters for planning: once you commit the BOM line, the part is yours. Lead time and availability are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ through independent distribution channels.
Lifecycle and compliance
The lifecycle status is Active, so this is a current-production part with no announced end-of-life. RoHS compliance is confirmed since 13-05-19. Note the REACH Article 33 disclosure: lead (CAS-No. 7439-92-1) is present above 0.1% w/w, which triggers the duty-to-inform requirement for downstream users. Export control classification is AL N / ECCN EAR99 — no special licensing barrier for most commercial shipments.
What the ratings mean for fit
The 35 kA interrupting rating at 480 V is the key coordination number. It tells you this breaker can safely clear a fault up to that level without upstream devices needing to trip — assuming the available fault current at its mounting point does not exceed 35 kA. The fixed overload setting (Ir = 35 A) means no field-adjustable dial; the breaker is ordered to match the load current exactly. The short-circuit pickup at 10× In (350 A) is a thermal-magnetic characteristic that clears bolted faults fast while riding through motor inrush.
Sourcing and procurement
Because this is a Class C made-to-order part, it is not a shelf-stocked fast mover. The sourcing posture is quoted to order against an RFQ — we confirm current pricing and factory lead time at the time of your request. For volume or blanket-order commitments, the group code P360 and product group 5385 help align with Siemens' ordering system. No direct pin-compatible drop-in exists across the 3VA4 family; the 35 A fixed-trip variant is a specific configuration that should be matched exactly on the BOM.
