Product details

The Siemens 5SL4506-8 is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker (MCB) rated 6 A with a D tripping characteristic, 1P+N poles, and a 10 kA breaking capacity per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 at 230 V AC. It switches the neutral conductor as well, so it isolates both poles on a fault, which is standard for single-phase residential or light commercial sub-distribution.

Mounting position is any orientation. Sealable and touch-protected, which matters for installations requiring lockout/tagout compliance.

Thermal Derating & Environment

At 30 °C ambient the continuous rating is 6 A; at 40 °C it derates to 5.68 A, at 45 °C to 5.52 A, and at 55 °C to 5.17 A. If the panel runs warm, size the upstream protection accordingly. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SL4506-8 and how do I get a price?

Sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — confirmed at quote time.

What is 5SL4506-8's listed depth (76 mm) on this component line?

The depth is 76 mm, with an installation depth of 70 mm.

What is 5SL4506-8's listed width (36 mm) on this component line?

The width is 36 mm, which is 2 modular width units on a DIN rail.

Will 5SL4506-8 drop into a panel that was specified around 5SL4106-7CC without rewiring?

The 5SL4506-8 shares the same SENTRON platform and DIN-rail footprint, but the 5SL4106-7CC is a B-curve 6A 1P+N MCB. The D-curve on the 5SL4506-8 has a different magnetic trip threshold — it will fit mechanically but may not coordinate with the same upstream selectivity as a B-curve. Check the existing coordination study before swapping.
