Rated for the line — 13 A B-curve, 2-pole
The Siemens 5SL6213-6 is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker from the SENTRON 5SL series, rated 13 A with a B tripping characteristic and a 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. The B-curve trips between 3 and 5 times rated current — suited for resistive and general-purpose loads where inrush is modest, not motor-heavy starts. At 40 °C ambient the continuous rating derates to 12.37 A; at 55 °C it drops to 11.36 A, so plan your load margin if the panel runs hot.
DIN-rail fit and panel integration
Width is 36 mm (2 modular units), depth 76 mm, height 90 mm — snaps onto standard DIN rail in any mounting position. Installation depth 70 mm leaves clearance behind the rail. IP20 with connected conductors, so it belongs inside a closed panel, not exposed to washdown. Sealable, halogen-free, silicon-free — suitable for clean-room or low-outgassing environments.
Regulatory and compliance posture
Rated for overvoltage category III, pollution degree 2, and suitable for residential and infrastructure installations per the manufacturer's suitability listing. The product designation follows IEC 81346-2 and DIN EN 61346-2 (function code F). Touch protection is built in. For compliance documentation (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC), the brand provides declarations on request — standard for SENTRON series breakers.
