Product details

The B-curve trips between 3 and 5 times rated current — 189 A to 315 A for this 63 A breaker — making it the right choice for resistive and general-purpose loads where inrush is modest. Insulation voltage is rated 440 V AC, with multi-phase operation also maxed at 440 V, so it handles standard 400 V three-phase panels with headroom. On the DC side, the 5SJ6263-6 is rated for a maximum of 60 V DC, which covers common 48 V and 24 V DC control circuits but not higher-voltage DC buswork. The 20 000 mechanical switching cycles typical service life is adequate for most panel applications where the breaker sees infrequent manual operation; it is not a switching device for cyclic loads. Mounting position is unrestricted, and the breaker is sealable — useful for installations requiring tamper-evident covers. Touch protection is built in, meeting the requirements for finger-safe terminals when conductors are connected. The IP20 rating applies with conductors connected, so the panel enclosure provides the environmental seal.

Environmental and compliance profile

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 with moderate vibration. Energy limiting class 3 indicates it restricts let-through energy effectively, which aids downstream component coordination.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of the 5SJ6263-6?

The 5SJ6263-6 has a 6 kA breaking capacity at 400 V AC, certified to both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2.

Will the 5SJ6263-6 drop into a panel specified for the 5SJ6220-6?

Yes, both are 2-pole SENTRON 5SJ6 breakers with the same 70 mm depth, 2 width units, and DIN-rail mounting. The 5SJ6263-6 is the 63 A version; the 5SJ6220-6 is 20 A. No rewiring is needed if the panel bus and wire sizing support 63 A.

Where can I buy the 5SJ6263-6?

The 5SJ6263-6 is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the difference between the 5SJ6263-6 and the 5SJ6463-7?

The 5SJ6263-6 is a 2-pole B-curve breaker; the 5SJ6463-7 is a 4-pole C-curve breaker. Both are 63 A, 6 kA, and share the same 70 mm depth. The choice depends on whether you need 4-pole switching and a C-curve for motor or transformer loads.
