Product details

The Siemens 5SL4420-6 is a 4-pole miniature circuit breaker from the SENTRON family, with a B tripping characteristic rated 20 A at 30 °C (18.94 A at 40 °C, 17.24 A at 55 °C). It breaks fault currents up to 10 kA per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC, and carries a maximum 440 V AC in multi-phase operation. The 4 MW (72 mm) width and 76 mm depth mean it occupies four standard 18 mm DIN-rail slots — a common footprint for a 4P residential or light-commercial distribution board. With a mechanical service life of 10 000 operating cycles and an IP20 rating (with connected conductors), this is a standard panelboard MCB for residential buildings and infrastructure, not a motor-protection or high-inrush device.

The 70 mm installation depth (76 mm overall) clears most shallow gland plates. Degree of pollution 2 and overvoltage category III are standard for fixed-installation distribution boards. Touch protection is provided on the line-side terminals. Temperature derating is published: at 40 °C the rated current drops to 18.94 A, at 45 °C to 18.4 A, and at 55 °C to 17.24 A. The maximum operating temperature is 75 °C; minimum is -40 °C, which covers cold-chain and outdoor telecom shelters.

The product function includes neutral conductor switching: no — this is a 4-pole breaker that switches all four poles, but the neutral is not switched separately (it is a 4P, not a 3P+N with a switched neutral).

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SL4420-6 and what is the lead time?

The 5SL4420-6 is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is 5SL4420-6's depth and width for panel planning?

The depth is 76 mm (70 mm installation depth) and the width is 72 mm — four standard 18 mm modular units on a DIN rail.

What compliance documentation is available for 5SL4420-6?

The breaker is halogen-free and silicon-free, rated IP20 with connected conductors, and carries a degree of pollution 2 and overvoltage category III per IEC standards. It is designed for residential buildings and infrastructure per the manufacturer's suitability statement.

Will 5SL4420-6 drop into a panel specified for 5SL6132-6MB?

Both are 4-pole SENTRON MCBs on the same DIN-rail footprint, but the 5SL6132-6MB is a C-curve device while the 5SL4420-6 is a B-curve. If the panel was wired for a C-curve breaker, the 5SL4420-6 will physically fit and electrically connect, but the lower inrush tolerance of the B curve may cause nuisance tripping on loads with high starting currents.
