The Siemens 5SL6215-7 is a SENTRON 5SL6 series miniature circuit breaker (MCB) rated 1.6 A, 2-pole, with a C tripping characteristic. It breaks fault currents up to 6 kA per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC — the standard residential and light-commercial fault level. The C-curve means it trips between 5 and 10 times rated current, so it handles moderate inrush from small motors or transformers without nuisance opening, while still clearing a hard short.
Fit and panel integration
Width is 36 mm (2 width units), depth 76 mm, height 90 mm — fits standard DIN-rail enclosures. Mounting position any; installation depth 70 mm. IP20 with connected conductors, so it belongs inside a panel, not exposed to washdown. Rated for ambient -40 °C to 75 °C, with periodic humidity up to 55 °C / 95 % — fine for unheated electrical rooms or outdoor cabinets in temperate climates.
