The 50 A rating governs the continuous load it can carry in a 40 °C ambient — derate above that per the thermal curve. At 45 °C ambient, which is realistic inside a sealed enclosure near a kiln or preheater, you'd knock the continuous load back roughly 10–15% to stay below the bimetal trip threshold. Terminals accept solid or stranded conductors from 0.75 mm² up to 25 mm² — that's a wide grip, covering everything from a 1.5 mm² control circuit tap to a 16 mm² feeder.

Product details
Frequently asked questions
What are the key ratings of 5SJ6250-6?
2-pole, B-curve, 50 A at 400 V AC, 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2, 60 V DC maximum, 20 000 mechanical switching cycles typical.
Will 5SJ6250-6 drop into a panel specified for 5SJ6220-6 without rewiring?
Yes — both are 2-pole 5SJ6 breakers with the same 70 mm depth, 2 width units, and terminal range of 0.75–25 mm². The only difference is the current rating: 50 A vs 20 A. If the panel's bus bars and conductors are sized for 50 A, it's a straight swap.
Where can I buy 5SJ6250-6?
