Product details

Supply voltage is 230 V AC single-phase, and it also carries a 72 V DC rating for control-circuit protection on the DC side of a rectifier.

The 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 is the standard for domestic distribution boards; if your fault-current study shows prospective short-circuit current above 6 kA at this point, step up to the 10 kA variant (5SL4363-7 family). The neutral pole is switched but not protected — it opens with the line pole on a fault, which satisfies disconnection requirements for single-phase final circuits in most residential and infrastructure installations. The sealable design allows a utility or inspector to lock the toggle position — useful for lockout/tagout on a dedicated circuit.

Installation depth is 70 mm — verify your enclosure depth if you're back-panelling with busbars or wiring ducts behind the DIN rail. The 2-module width (36 mm) is the same as the 5SL6550-7BB and half the width of a 3-pole unit like 5SL4363-7. Mounting position is any, so horizontal DIN-rail orientation in a shallow enclosure is fine. No auxiliary contacts, shunt trips, or under-voltage releases can be snapped on — the product extension is listed as 'No'. If you need alarm signalling or remote tripping, you'll need a different SENTRON frame (the 5SL series supports add-on modules).

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SJ6506-7FC and get a price?

The part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for your quantity.

What's the closest alternative to 5SJ6506-7FC — will 5SL4363-7 drop in?

5SL4363-7 is a 3-pole, 10 kA, 400 V breaker — it won't drop into a 1P+N panel position without rewiring and a wider DIN footprint (54 mm vs 36 mm). The 5SL6550-7BB shares the same 2-module width and 6 kA rating but is a 50 A 1P+N — no direct swap for a 6 A circuit.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SJ6506-7FC?

The part carries EN 60898 certification for the 6 kA breaking capacity. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. Overvoltage category III and pollution degree 2 are stated. Specific RoHS/REACH declarations and UL listing should be confirmed from the manufacturer's documentation portal for your jurisdiction.
