The Siemens SENTRON 5SL6210-7CC is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker rated 10 A with a C-curve trip characteristic, breaking 6 kA per EN 60898 at 400 V AC. It occupies 2 modular width units (36 mm) on a DIN rail, with a depth of 76 mm and an installation depth of 70 mm — standard for panel integration in residential and infrastructure distribution boards.
What the ratings mean for fit
The C-curve (magnetic trip between 5 and 10 times In) suits moderate inrush loads like small motors, lighting banks, and transformers — common in residential and light commercial infrastructure. The 6 kA breaking capacity at 400 V AC is the standard domestic-commercial rating per EN 60898; for industrial panels requiring higher SCCR (e.g. 10 kA per IEC 60947-2), the 3-pole sibling 5SL4363-7 carries that rating. The 2-pole design switches both phase and neutral, with the neutral not switched on the 1P+N variant — here both poles are protected.
Integration notes
Mounts in any position on a standard DIN rail. The IP20 rating (with connected conductors) means it is intended for enclosed distribution boards, not wet or dusty environments. Sealable terminals are standard — useful for utility or metering applications where tamper evidence is required. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction avoids corrosive off-gassing in confined panels. Vibration resistance to 50 m/s² at 25 to 150 Hz per IEC 60068-2-6 confirms suitability for transport and installation near rotating machinery.
