The Siemens 5SL4513-6 is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker from the 5SL4 design family, rated 13 A with a B tripping characteristic and a 10 kA breaking capacity per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. The 10,000 mechanical switching cycles (typical) reflect a service life well beyond what a residential or infrastructure breaker sees in normal operation.
Mounting and integration — DIN-rail footprint, terminal sizing
The 5SL4513-6 occupies 2 width units (36 mm) on a standard 35 mm DIN rail, with an installation depth of 70 mm and overall depth of 76 mm. The screw terminals accept solid or stranded conductors from 0.75 mm² up to 25 mm² — that covers everything from 1.5 mm² lighting circuits up to 6 mm² or 10 mm² feeder tails. Tightening torque is 2.5 to 3 N·m, typical for this class.
