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.
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.
The 35 kA interrupting rating at 480 V is the key coordination number. 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.
Because this is a Class C made-to-order part, it is not a shelf-stocked fast mover. 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.
