The Siemens SENTRON 5SL6140-8CC is a 1-pole miniature circuit breaker with a D tripping characteristic, rated 40 A at 30 °C and 230/400 V AC. At 40 °C ambient the continuous rating derates to 36.88 A, so a panel running warm needs to account for that headroom.
Mounting position is unrestricted, so it can go sideways or upside-down in a tight cabinet without derating the thermal trip.
The breaking capacity is 6 kA per EN 60898 at 230/400 V AC, which is the standard rating for residential and light commercial distribution boards.
This part 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 a firm price and lead time.
Both are 1-pole SENTRON MCBs on the same DIN-rail footprint (18 mm width per modular unit), so the mechanical fit is identical. The difference is the rating: 5SL6140-8CC is a 40 A D-curve, while 5SL6132-6MB is a different rating and characteristic — verify the load's inrush and continuous current before swapping without rewiring the distribution board.
The breaker carries IEC 60898 certification for the 6 kA breaking capacity. It is halogen-free and silicon-free, rated for overvoltage category III and pollution degree 2. Touch protection is integrated on the terminals. Full RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens on request.
