Product details

20 A C-curve MCB for branch-circuit protection

The Siemens SENTRON 5SL6120-7RC is a 1-pole miniature circuit breaker rated 20 A with a C tripping characteristic and a 7.5 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898.

Rated 415 V AC max single-phase, 440 V AC multi-phase — covers 400/415 V three-phase panels with the hot leg landed on this pole. DC rating tops out at 72 V, so it works in 48 V control circuits but not 125 V DC substation gear. The 7.5 kA breaking capacity at 415 V AC per EN 60898 is enough for most residential and light-commercial service entrances; if your available fault current runs higher, step to the 10 kA variant. Power loss per pole is 1.7 W at rated load in hot condition — negligible in a populated panel but worth a glance if you're packing 40+ breakers in a sealed enclosure.

Depth is 76 mm, height 90 mm — fits standard distribution boards and sub-panels without crowding the wiring gutter.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of the 5SL6120-7RC?

The 5SL6120-7RC is rated 7.5 kA breaking capacity according to EN 60898 at 415 V AC.

Where can I buy the 5SL6120-7RC and how is it quoted?

The 5SL6120-7RC is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for firm terms.

What is the difference between the 5SL6120-7RC and the 5SL4363-7?

The 5SL4363-7 is a 3-pole version rated 63 A with a 10 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2, while the 5SL6120-7RC is a 1-pole 20 A unit with 7.5 kA. They share the same SENTRON series, same 76 mm depth and 90 mm height, but the 3-pole unit occupies 3 MWU (54 mm) versus 1 MWU (18 mm). They are not drop-in substitutes — the pole count, current rating, and breaking capacity differ.
