Product details

The Siemens 5SL4408-6 is a SENTRON-series miniature circuit breaker (MCB) — a 4-pole, 4-module-width unit with a B tripping curve, rated 8 A at 400 V AC.

The B-curve trips between 3 and 5 times rated current — so for this 8 A breaker, magnetic trip happens between 24 and 40 A. That makes it a good fit for resistive loads and general-purpose wiring where you don't expect high inrush; it's not the right choice for motor starting or transformer primaries where a C or D curve would be needed to avoid nuisance trips on inrush. Temperature derating is built into the spec: at 30 °C ambient it carries the full 8 A, but at 55 °C it's derated to 6.37 A. The 4-pole configuration (4P) switches all four poles simultaneously — line and neutral. That's typical for three-phase plus neutral distribution in European-style panels where you want a single device isolating the whole circuit. The neutral conductor is not switched separately, which is noted in the spec.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 5SL4408-6's breaking capacity?

The 5SL4408-6 has a 10 kA breaking capacity per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC.

Will the 5SL4408-6 fit in a panel designed for the 5SL4363-7?

Both are 4-module-width SENTRON MCBs on the same DIN-rail footprint, so the 5SL4408-6 will physically drop into the same panel position. The difference is in ratings — the 5SL4363-7 is a 63 A C-curve, while this is an 8 A B-curve — so the circuit protection specs are different, but the mechanical fit is the same.

How do I get current pricing and availability for the 5SL4408-6?

The 5SL4408-6 is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Current pricing and availability are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm quote.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for the 5SL4408-6?

The breaker is certified to EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 for breaking capacity, rated overvoltage category III, pollution degree 2, and is halogen-free and silicon-free. Standard Siemens declarations of conformity and CE marking apply.
