Product details

The Siemens 5SL6140-7BB is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker — a single-pole unit with a C tripping curve, rated 40 A, and a breaking capacity of 6 kA per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. It's built for residential and infrastructure branch circuits: lighting, socket outlets, general-purpose loads where the inrush isn't extreme but you still want the C-curve's moderate magnetic trip threshold.

The C-curve trips magnetically between 5 and 10 times rated current (200–400 A for this 40 A unit), which suits motor-starting and fluorescent-lighting inrush better than a B-curve would.

Sealable design allows locking the toggle to prevent unauthorized operation.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 5SL6140-7BB and get a price?

The 5SL6140-7BB is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ to get a firm line.

Will the 5SL6140-7BB drop into a panel specified around the 5SL4363-7?

No — the 5SL4363-7 is a 3-pole unit occupying three modular widths (54 mm), while the 5SL6140-7BB is a 1-pole unit in one width (18 mm). They share the same depth (76 mm) and mounting rail, but the pole count and width differ; you'd need to rework the busbar and wiring.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for the 5SL6140-7BB?

The 5SL6140-7BB carries CE marking for the European market. It is designed to meet EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 standards for breaking capacity. RoHS and REACH compliance is standard for Siemens SENTRON products, though specific declarations are issued with the shipment.
