Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 5SL6401-7 is a 4-pole miniature circuit breaker rated 1 A with a C tripping characteristic, breaking 6 kA at 400 V AC per IEC/EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. This is the part for a 4-wire single-phase or three-phase plus neutral final subcircuit where you need thermal-magnetic protection on all poles and the load draws under 1 A — think control transformers, lighting contactor coils, or small power supplies in a residential or light-commercial distribution board.

IP20 with connected conductors — finger-safe once wired, but not for wet environments.

At 1 A, this is a low-current pole; verify the downstream load's full-load amps don't exceed 80% of the breaker rating for continuous duty per NEC/EN 61439 derating rules.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SL6401-7?

6 kA at 400 V AC under both IEC/EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 standards.

How many modular width units does 5SL6401-7 occupy?

4 modular width units, which is 72 mm on a DIN rail.

Where can I buy 5SL6401-7 and get current pricing?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time.

Will 5SL6401-7 drop into a panel specified around 5SL4363-7?

The 5SL6401-7 is 4-pole (72 mm wide) versus the 5SL4363-7 which is 3-pole (54 mm wide). Both share the same 90 mm height, 76 mm depth, and DIN-rail mounting, so the panel cutout and busbar arrangement must accommodate the extra pole width.
