Product details

Rated 240 V AC (single-phase) and 60 V DC maximum, this 1P+N unit occupies 2 width units on a DIN rail. The neutral pole switches simultaneously with the phase pole, providing full isolation on both conductors when the breaker trips or is manually opened.

The same 6 kA rating per IEC 60947-2 confirms the breaker meets the industrial standard for performance under short-circuit conditions. Overvoltage category 3 means the MCB is designed for fixed installations where transient overvoltages are controlled by upstream surge protection — typical for distribution boards in buildings. The energy limiting class 3 indicates the breaker limits let-through energy effectively, reducing stress on downstream wiring and connected equipment during a fault. Mechanical service life is rated at 20,000 switching cycles — sufficient for normal on/off switching during testing and maintenance, though this is not a device intended for frequent operational switching under load. Vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6 is 50 m/s² at 25 to 150 Hz and 60 m/s² at 10 to 150 Hz, covering most panel-mounted applications in industrial environments.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 5SJ6513-7 and what is the lead time?

The 5SJ6513-7 is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm lead time and price.

What is the difference between 5SJ6513-7 and the 5SJ6216-6?

The 5SJ6513-7 is a 1P+N unit (switches phase and neutral) with a C-curve at 13 A, while the 5SJ6216-6 is a 2-pole (switches two phases) with a B-curve at 16 A. Both share the same 6 kA breaking capacity, 60 V DC max rating, wire range, and 70 mm depth. The 5SJ6216-6 is rated 400 V AC (line-to-line) versus the 5SJ6513-7's 240 V AC (line-to-neutral). They are not drop-in replacements — the pole configuration and voltage rating differ.

What wire sizes does the 5SJ6513-7 accept?

Solid and stranded conductors from 0.75 mm² up to 25 mm². The terminal is sealable for tamper-proof installations.

What compliance documentation is available for the 5SJ6513-7?

The 5SJ6513-7 carries ratings per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. The housing is halogen-free and silicon-free. Specific RoHS/REACH/UL declarations are typically available from Siemens on request through the supply channel.
