Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 5SL4208-7RC is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker rated 8 A with a C tripping characteristic and a 10 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 at 415 V AC.

The 10 kA breaking capacity at 415 V AC (per EN 60898) means this MCB can safely interrupt a fault current up to 10,000 A without welding its contacts or rupturing the case — sufficient for most residential and light commercial service entrances where the prospective short-circuit current stays under that threshold. The 2-pole design switches both line conductors simultaneously — no neutral switching (the neutral bar stays solid).

Depth 76 mm (70 mm installation depth), width 18 mm. IP20 with connected conductors. Touch protection built into terminals.

Frequently asked questions

Will 5SL4208-7RC drop into a panel that was specified around 5SL3116-6MB without rewiring?

Yes, the 5SL4208-7RC shares the same 18 mm width, 76 mm depth, and DIN-rail mounting as the 5SL3116-6MB. The key difference is pole count: the 5SL4208-7RC is 2-pole, while the 5SL3116-6MB is 1-pole. If the original panel was wired for a single-pole breaker, the 2-pole unit will not fit without busbar and circuit rewiring.
