Product details

The Siemens 5SL6206-6 is a 2-pole SENTRON miniature circuit breaker with a B-curve trip characteristic, rated 6 A at 400 V AC and a 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. Degree of pollution 2 and overvoltage category III cover standard indoor panel environments.

If your panel called for a C-curve — say, for motor or compressor starts — the nearest peer in the same SENTRON family is the 5SL6220-7, which shares the same 2-pole footprint, 6 kA breaking capacity, and 36 mm width, but switches to a C-curve and carries a 20 A rating at a higher power loss per pole (2.2 W vs 0.9 W). The B-curve on this part gives you faster tripping on moderate overloads, so it pairs well with sensitive electronics or long cable runs where inrush is low.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of the 5SL6206-6?

It is rated 6 kA per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2, at 400 V AC.

Will the 5SL6206-6 drop into a panel that was specified around the 5SL6220-7 without rewiring?

Yes — both share the same 2-pole DIN-rail footprint, 36 mm width, 76 mm depth, and 70 mm installation depth, so the mechanical fit is identical. The difference is the trip curve (B vs C) and the current rating (6 A vs 20 A); the wiring and busbar layout transfer directly.

What is the width of the 5SL6206-6?

36 mm, which is 2 modular width units on a standard DIN rail.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for the 5SL6206-6?

The part carries a CE marking and is designed to meet EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. Specific RoHS, REACH, and UL documentation should be confirmed at order time against the lot.

Where can I buy the 5SL6206-6?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
