Product details

Rated 400 V AC and 60 V DC, this MCB handles standard 230/400 V three-phase distribution and low-voltage DC control circuits. The single-pole design switches the line only — no neutral switching, so wire it into the phase leg. The IP20 body (IP40 in the handle area) is fine inside a closed enclosure but not for washdown locations. Vibration resistance is specified at 50 m/s² over 25–150 Hz and 60 m/s² at 35 Hz, so it holds up in machinery with moderate vibration, like conveyors or pumps.

Integration and installation notes

Depth is 70 mm, which is standard for this class — it'll clear a 100 mm enclosure backplate. The sealable design lets you lock the handle position for lockout/tagout compliance without adding an external hasp.

Designed for mechanical engineering and industrial applications per the suitability listing. In a typical panel, it protects a lighting circuit, a small control transformer primary, or a PLC power supply feed. The B-curve keeps it from tripping on the short inrush of a 50 VA control transformer, but if you're feeding motor starters, you'd want a C- or D-curve instead.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional alternative — will the 5SL6006-7 drop in without rewiring?

The 5SL6006-7 is a different series (Siemens 5SL) with a similar form factor. Both are single-pole MCBs on 18 mm width, so they share the same DIN-rail footprint and terminal spacing. The deciding factor is the tripping curve and breaking capacity — verify the 5SL unit's B-curve and kA rating match your coordination study before swapping. No rewiring needed if the ratings align; the termination style is the same.

What are the key dimensions for panel layout?

Width is 18 mm (1 modular unit), height is 90 mm, depth is 70 mm. These are standard for a single-pole MCB and fit any 35 mm DIN-rail enclosure with at least 100 mm internal depth.

What compliance documentation is available for this MCB?

The SENTRON series typically ships with CE marking and manufacturer declarations for RoHS and REACH. Specific UL or IEC certification markings should be on the product label; for formal certificates, request them via the RFQ process. The part is rated per EN 60898 (10 kA) and IEC 60947-2 (15 kA), so it carries those design standards.
