The Siemens 5SL4506-6 is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker (MCB) rated 6 A with a B tripping characteristic, 10 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2, and a 1P+N pole configuration for 230 V AC single-phase circuits. The B-curve means it trips at 3–5× rated current, suited for resistive and general-purpose loads where inrush is modest — lighting, small appliances, and control transformers in residential or light commercial infrastructure panels.
Panel fit and integration
Occupies 2 modular width units (36 mm) on a DIN rail, with a depth of 76 mm and installation depth of 70 mm. Mounting position is unrestricted. IP20 with connected conductors — suitable for enclosed distribution boards. The housing is halogen-free and silicon-free, and the unit is sealable for tamper-proof installations. Supplementary devices (auxiliary switches, shunt trips, alarm contacts) can be added on the side.
