The Siemens SENTRON 5SL6208-7CC is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) with a C-curve trip characteristic, rated at 8 A and 400 V AC. Its 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 means it safely interrupts short-circuit faults up to 6 kA at 400 V — standard for residential and light commercial distribution boards where the prospective fault current stays under that threshold. The C-curve (5–10× In) handles moderate inrush from small motors, pumps, or transformers without nuisance tripping, while still clearing a hard short.
Dimensions and panel fit
At 36 mm wide (2 modular units) and 76 mm deep (70 mm installation depth), this MCB snaps onto standard 35 mm DIN rail. The 90 mm height leaves clearance for busbar comb connections in a distribution board. IP20 with connected conductors — enclosed panel only, not for washdown or outdoor exposure.
Environmental and compliance
Halogen-free and silicon-free construction suits installations where outgassing must be minimized. Rated for ambient temperatures from -40 °C to 75 °C, with periodic exposure to +55 °C at 95% humidity. Vibration resistance tested to 50 m/s² at 25–150 Hz per IEC 60068-2-6 — suitable for panel mounting in equipment subject to transport or machine vibration. Pollution degree 2, overvoltage category III.
