The Siemens 5SL4140-0RC is a 40 A single-pole miniature circuit breaker with a Z characteristic and 10 kA breaking capacity. The Z curve trips between 2.5 and 5 times rated current, designed for semiconductor and control circuit protection where inrush is minimal but short-circuit discrimination matters. It snaps onto a DIN rail in a standard distribution board or sub-panel.
