Product details

The 63 A B-curve means it trips between 3 and 5 times rated current (roughly 189–315 A magnetic release), which suits resistive and moderate inductive loads like lighting banks, water heaters, or small motor circuits where you want fast clearing on hard shorts but tolerance for inrush.

The 1-pole, 1-width-unit (roughly 18 mm per DIN rail module) form factor with 70 mm installation depth snaps into any standard DIN-rail enclosure. Mounting position is unrestricted, which helps in tight panels. Touch protection is built in, so accidental contact with live terminals is prevented when the breaker is properly installed. Energy limiting class 3 gives good current limitation on short circuits, reducing let-through energy to downstream equipment.

Vibration resistance is tested to IEC 60068-2-6 at 50 m/s² from 25 to 150 Hz and 60 m/s² from 10 to 150 Hz, so it holds up on machinery or in transport applications. Rated frequency is 50 Hz; the AC/DC voltage type means it can switch DC circuits up to 60 V, though the DC breaking capacity derates — verify coordination for DC loads. Insulation voltage is 440 V AC, and multi-phase operation is rated to 440 V AC maximum. Mechanical service life is 20 000 switching cycles typical.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SJ6163-6?

The breaking capacity is 6 kA, certified to both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2.

What is the difference between 5SJ6163-6 and the 2-pole 5SJ6220-6?

The 5SJ6220-6 is a 2-pole, 20 A B-curve breaker with the same 6 kA breaking capacity and 70 mm depth. It takes 2 width units on the DIN rail instead of 1. If your panel was specified for a 2-pole 20 A breaker, the 1-pole 63 A 5SJ6163-6 won't drop in without rewiring — different pole count, different current rating.

Where can I buy 5SJ6163-6?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
