Product details

Rated for the panel — 6 A C-curve, 4-pole, 4.5 kA

That C-curve means it holds through mild inrush — motor starts, capacitor banks, transformer energization — and trips fast on a hard fault. The neutral pole switches (3P+N), so you get full isolation on all three phases plus the neutral — no shared busbar concerns on a TN or TT system. Ambient temperature range of -25 to +45 °C covers unconditioned enclosures and outdoor cabinets in moderate climates. IP20 with connected conductors — panel-internal duty only, not for wet locations without a separate enclosure.

Snaps onto standard DIN rail. Width is 72 mm (4 width units). Sealable cover available for tamper-proofing in utility-metering or common-area distribution boards.

Halogen-free and silicon-free construction for environments where outgassing matters (clean rooms, telecom shelters).

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SL3606-7MB?

This part is sourced through independent distribution and quoted to order against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the breaking capacity of 5SL3606-7MB?

4.5 kA per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC. That is the standard interrupting rating for this class of MCB.

What wire sizes does 5SL3606-7MB accept?

Solid or stranded copper from 0.75 to 25 mm². Terminal torque spec is 2.5–3 N·m.

Will 5SL3606-7MB fit in a panel designed for 5SL3640-7MB?

Both are 4-pole SENTRON MCBs in the same 5SL3 mechanical footprint — same width (72 mm), depth (76 mm), and DIN-rail mounting. The difference is the current rating: 6 A vs 40 A. If the panel busbar and load wiring are sized for 40 A, dropping in a 6 A breaker is fine; the reverse is not.
