The Siemens 5SL6208-6CC is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker rated 8 A with a B-curve trip characteristic, breaking capacity of 6 kA at 400 V. This is a current-production part (active lifecycle status) in the Basic Devices family, commonly used for branch-circuit protection in DIN-rail distribution panels and sub-distribution boards.
The 2-pole form factor occupies two DIN-rail module widths (standard 18 mm per pole). B-curve characteristic means the magnetic trip activates at 3–5× In (24–40 A), suited for resistive and general-purpose loads where inrush is moderate. The 6 kA breaking capacity at 400 V is adequate for most commercial and light industrial sub-distribution boards where the prospective short-circuit current stays under that threshold.
RoHS compliant since June 2013. Contains lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1% w/w per REACH candidate list — this is typical for certain contact materials in MCBs and does not affect RoHS exemption status. Export control classification is AL: N / ECCN: N, no license required for standard commercial shipments.
