What it is and what the ratings mean
The Siemens 5SL1210-6MB is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker from the SENTRON family, rated 10 A with a B tripping characteristic. The B curve means it trips at 3–5 times rated current — standard for protecting residential and light commercial circuits feeding resistive or general-purpose loads where inrush is low. Breaking capacity is 3 kA per IEC 60947-2, which covers most final subcircuits in a building distribution board; if your fault current at the panel exceeds that, you need upstream current-limiting or a higher-rated breaker.
Where it fits and how it mounts
Snaps onto a standard DIN rail — 2 modular-width units (36 mm wide). Depth is 76 mm, installation depth 70 mm. Mounting position is any.
Lifecycle and sourcing
This is a current-production part. The 5SL1210-6MB is a standard catalog item in the SENTRON MCB line.
