Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 5SL6206-6MB is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker rated 6 A with a B tripping characteristic, designed for 400 V AC systems and a 6 kA interrupting capacity per EN 60898.

Touch protection is built in, so accidental contact with the line-side terminals is prevented when the breaker is installed per the manufacturer's instructions. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction avoids outgassing concerns in clean environments or sealed enclosures.

Compared to the 5SL3120-6MB (a 3-pole C-curve 20 A unit), the 5SL6206-6MB is a 2-pole B-curve 6 A breaker. The B-curve is faster on moderate overloads, so it coordinates better with sensitive downstream loads. The 2-pole format means it switches both phase conductors but does not switch the neutral — verify your circuit's neutral switching requirement before specifying.

The 10 000 switching cycles mechanical service life is typical for this class — adequate for occasional manual operation and fault clearing, not for daily switching duty.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SL6206-6MB and how do I get a price?

The 5SL6206-6MB is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is 5SL6206-6MB's listed depth (76 mm) on this component line?

The overall depth is 76 mm, with an installation depth of 70 mm behind the panel face.

What is 5SL6206-6MB's listed width (36 mm) on this component line?

The width is 36 mm, occupying 2 standard DIN-rail width units.

Will 5SL6206-6MB drop into a panel that was specified around 5SL3120-6MB without rewiring?

No — the 5SL6206-6MB is 2-pole, while the 5SL3120-6MB is 3-pole, so the busbar and wiring arrangement are different. The DIN-rail footprint is the same width per pole, but the pole count mismatch means the panel layout must be reworked.
