Integrator's terse spec recap
The Siemens 5SL6002-7KL is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker with a C-curve tripping characteristic, rated 2 A at AC. Its 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 covers most residential and light commercial branch circuits. The 18 mm width (1 MW) snaps onto standard DIN rail, and the 76 mm depth fits shallow enclosures. Rated for overvoltage category III, pollution degree 2.
What the ratings mean for fit
The C-curve means the magnetic trip activates at 5–10× rated current — suited for moderate inrush loads like small motors or lighting ballasts. The 2 A rating at 30 °C derates to 1.92 A at 40 °C and 1.75 A at 60 °C; if the panel ambient runs hot, size up one frame. The 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 certifies it for interrupting short-circuit faults up to that level without upstream damage in residential/infrastructure installations.
Panel integration notes
Snaps onto standard DIN rail in any mounting position. The 18 mm width occupies one modular unit — useful when filling a tight gland plate. Touch protection is built in. IP20 with connected conductors means it's for enclosed panels, not washdown zones. Vibration-resistant per IEC 60068-2-6.
