Product details

Occupies 2 modular-width units (36 mm) on a DIN rail, with a 76 mm depth and 90 mm height — standard SENTRON footprint that drops into any 18 mm-pitch distribution board. Mounting position is unrestricted, so it can be installed horizontally or inverted if the enclosure layout demands it.

That dual rating means the same part satisfies a residential distribution board and a light-industrial panel — no need to spec a different breaker if the application crosses between the two. The 400 V AC rated voltage covers single-phase and three-phase line-to-line supplies up to 440 V maximum.

Accessories and compliance

Halogen-free and silicon-free construction, so it meets the material restrictions common in rail, marine, and clean-room specs.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 5SL4240-7 and how is it quoted?

We source the 5SL4240-7 to order against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time through our independent distribution network.

Will the 5SL4240-7 drop into a panel specified around the 5SL4363-7?

No — the 5SL4363-7 is a 3-pole breaker occupying 3 MW (54 mm), while the 5SL4240-7 is 2-pole at 2 MW (36 mm). The depth and height are identical, but the pole count and width differ, so a panel designed for the 3-pole unit would need a different DIN-rail layout or a blank filler.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for the 5SL4240-7?

The breaker is halogen-free and silicon-free, and carries IEC 60898 and IEC 60947-2 ratings. Standard Siemens declarations of conformity (CE, UKCA) and material compliance (RoHS, REACH) are available on request.
