The Siemens 5SL1225-6MB is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker rated 25 A, B characteristic, 2-pole, with a 3 kA breaking capacity per IEC 60947-2.
Fit and footprint
Mounting position is any, so you can lay it sideways in a shallow enclosure without derating. IP20 with connected conductors, which is normal for a distribution board interior; no washdown rating here. The sealable design lets a panel builder lock the toggle position — useful for a lighting circuit that shouldn't be switched off by accident.
What the ratings mean
The 3 kA breaking capacity (IEC 60947-2) is the maximum prospective fault current this MCB can safely interrupt. At 230/400 V AC, single-phase or multi-phase, this part covers the typical residential and infrastructure branch circuit. Mechanical service life is 4 000 operating cycles typical. That's fine for a distribution board that sees a few operations a year; for a frequently switched load you'd want a contactor ahead of the MCB.
