The Siemens SENTRON 5SL6206-7BB is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) with a C-trip curve, rated 6 A at 400 V AC, and a 6 kA breaking capacity certified to both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2.
At 36 mm wide (2 modular units) and 76 mm deep, this MCB drops onto any standard DIN rail. Mounting position is unrestricted — vertical, horizontal, or upside-down in a tight gland plate — no derating needed for orientation.
Thermal derating — the real-world number
The 6 A rating holds at 30 °C; at 40 °C it's 5.68 A, at 55 °C it's 5.17 A. The mechanical life is 10 000 switching cycles typical, which is fine for a distribution breaker not cycled daily.
