Product details

That Z-curve means it trips between 2 and 3 times rated current — tighter than a B-curve — so it's sized for semiconductor or control-circuit protection where you need fast clearing on small overcurrents but want to avoid nuisance trips from inrush.

Rated 2 A at AC, the breaker carries 2.2 A at 30 °C ambient and derates to 1.9 A at 60 °C — that thermal curve matters if the breaker sits in a warm cabinet next to drives or transformers. Breaking capacity is 10 kA per EN 60898 and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 415 V AC; the higher IEC figure gives you headroom on a 400 V industrial supply with a stiff fault current. Maximum operating voltage is 440 V AC for single- or multi-phase, and it's rated up to 72 V DC for those control-circuit applications.

Sealable — that's for padlocking the toggle in the off position during lockout/tagout. Touch protection is built in, so you don't need additional finger guards on the line side. No neutral pole switching — this is a 2-pole breaker for double-pole switching of a single-phase or two-phase load, not a 1P+N configuration.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Z tripping characteristic mean for my application?

Z-curve trips at 2 to 3 times rated current (4 to 6 A for this 2 A breaker), which is faster than a B-curve (3–5x) and tighter than a C-curve (5–10x). It's designed for protecting semiconductor circuits, control transformers, and sensitive electronic loads where you need short-circuit protection but can't tolerate the higher trip thresholds of a C-curve.

Where can I buy 5SL4202-0RC and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or price is published here because supply varies. Submit an RFQ for a firm quote with lead time.

What is the depth of 5SL4202-0RC?

The overall depth is 76 mm, with an installation depth of 70 mm into the panel — that's the dimension from the DIN-rail mounting surface to the back of the breaker body.

What compliance documentation does this breaker carry?

It's rated per EN 60898 (10 kA breaking capacity) and IEC 60947-2 (15 kA), with overvoltage category III and pollution degree 3. The construction is halogen-free and silicon-free. Specific RoHS/REACH/UL declarations should be requested at quote time — the evidence does not list those marks explicitly.
