Product details

DC-rated miniature circuit breaker for 250 VDC circuits

The Siemens 5SL5220-6CC is a 2-pole DC miniature circuit breaker from the SENTRON 5SL family, rated 250 V DC with a B tripping characteristic at 20 A and a 10 kA breaking capacity. The DC voltage rating of 72 V per pole means the two poles are series-connected internally to achieve the 250 V DC system voltage — this is not a 2-pole AC breaker pressed into DC service, but a purpose-designed DC unit.

At 36 mm wide (2 modular width units) and 76 mm deep, this breaker occupies two standard 18 mm DIN-rail slots. IP20 with connected conductors is the norm for a DIN-rail enclosure; keep the panel door closed or use a distribution board cover.

Halogen-free and silicon-free construction, so it's safe for use in clean-room adjacent panels or areas where outgassing from a fault could contaminate optics or contacts. The sealable design lets you lock the toggle in the off position with a padlock — required for lockout/tagout on DC circuits where no upstream isolator exists.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 5SL5220-6CC used for?

This 2-pole DC miniature circuit breaker is designed for 250 V DC circuits with a B characteristic and 20 A rating. Typical applications include DC distribution in telecom shelters, PV combiner boxes, battery banks, and control power supplies where resistive or light inductive loads are present.

Where can I buy the 5SL5220-6CC?

The 5SL5220-6CC is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent industrial distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at the time of quote.

Will the 5SL5220-6CC fit in a panel designed for the 5SL6132-6MB?

Not without rewiring. The 5SL5220-6CC is 36 mm wide (2 modular units) versus the 18 mm width of the 5SL6132-6MB. The depth and height are identical at 76 mm and 90 mm, so the DIN-rail clip and enclosure depth are compatible, but you need an extra 18 mm of DIN-rail space per breaker.
