Product details

Siemens 5SL6120-6YA SENTRON MCB — 20 A, B-curve, 1-pole

The Siemens 5SL6120-6YA is a 1-pole miniature circuit breaker from the SENTRON family, rated 20 A with a B-tripping characteristic and a 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898.

Rated 20 A at 30 °C ambient, with a slight derating at elevated temperatures: 18.4 A at 45 °C, and a sharp drop to 0.95 A at 40 °C — that 40 °C figure appears to be a data anomaly or a different test condition, so size for the 30 °C rating and apply standard IEC derating if the enclosure runs hot.

Mechanical fit and environmental specs

Sealable design allows tamper-proof locking for metering or safety isolation.

Frequently asked questions

Will the 5SL6120-6YA drop into a panel specified for the 5SL6132-6MB?

Yes — both are 1-pole SENTRON 5SL breakers with identical dimensions (18 mm width, 76 mm depth, 70 mm installation depth) and the same DIN-rail mounting. The only difference is the current rating: 20 A vs 32 A. No rewiring or panel modification is needed for the swap.
