Siemens SENTRON 5SJ6513-6 — 13 A B-curve MCB for branch-circuit protection
Rated at 240 V AC and 60 V DC maximum, it covers single-phase line-to-neutral circuits in common 230/240 V systems. The 1P+N construction switches the line pole and provides a switched neutral, which is useful in installations where the neutral must be disconnected for isolation.
Occupies 2 width units (about 36 mm) and installs at 70 mm depth, leaving clearance for rear-panel wiring in shallow enclosures. Mounting position is any — horizontal, vertical, or flat — which simplifies layout in crowded panels. IP20 with connected conductors means the terminals are finger-safe when wired; no additional finger-duct cover needed for the breaker body itself. Vibration resistance tested to 50 m/s² at 25–150 Hz and 60 m/s² at 10–150 Hz per IEC 60068-2-6, so it holds up in panels mounted on pumps, compressors, or conveyors. Mechanical life is rated 20 000 switching cycles — typical for a residential-grade MCB, not a frequent-switching contactor.
