Product details

The Siemens 5SL3606-6 is a SENTRON 5SL3 miniature circuit breaker, 4-pole (3P+N), rated 6 A with a B tripping characteristic. It breaks faults up to 4.5 kA per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC — that's the standard for residential and light commercial distribution boards where the prospective short-circuit current stays under that threshold.

The 4-pole 3P+N configuration switches all three phases plus the neutral — that's the right choice for a TN or TT system where you need to isolate the neutral on a fault. The neutral pole is switched, so it opens the neutral path when the breaker trips, which matters for safety isolation in some regional codes. The B curve is the most common for residential and general-purpose final circuits in Europe — lighting, socket outlets, small appliances. If you were protecting motor circuits or transformers with higher inrush, you'd want a C or D curve instead; this one is not for that. The 4.5 kA breaking capacity is the standard domestic rating per EN 60898; for industrial panels with higher fault current you'd step up to a 10 kA or 15 kA rated MCB.

The terminals accept solid or stranded copper from 0.75 mm² up to 25 mm², which covers standard final-circuit conductors up to 4 mm² and still handles a 6 mm² feed if needed. Tightening torque is 2.5 to 3 N·m — a standard screwdriver setting, no special tooling. It's also sealable — you can lock the toggle with a padlock for lockout/tagout.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SL3606-6 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit a request with your quantity and target delivery date.

What is the difference between 5SL3606-6 and 5SL3640-7MB?

The 5SL3640-7MB is a 40 A, C-curve 4-pole MCB in the same SENTRON 5SL3 family. The 5SL3606-6 is 6 A, B-curve. They share the same DIN-rail footprint, terminal range, and breaking capacity, but the current rating and trip characteristic are different — they are not drop-in replacements for each other. If your panel was specified around the 40 A C-curve unit, the 6 A B-curve will not carry the load.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 5SL3606-6?

The SENTRON 5SL3 series carries approvals per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2, as noted in the ratings. For specific documentation like RoHS, REACH, or UL declarations, those are available from the manufacturer upon request through the supply channel.
