Product details

The Siemens 5SL6406-6 is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker, 4-pole, B-curve, rated 6 A at 400 V AC with a 6 kA breaking capacity per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. It's the kind of part you snap onto a DIN rail in a residential or light-commercial panel and forget about — until a fault happens, then it clears the circuit cleanly. Rated 6 A at 30 °C, it derates to 5.64 A at 40 °C and 5.04 A at 55 °C — so if your panel runs hot, you need to account for that when sizing the branch circuit.

That's standard for most residential and light-commercial panels where the prospective fault current doesn't exceed 6 kA. If your installation has a higher available fault current (say 10 kA or 25 kA), this isn't the breaker for that spot. The -40 °C to 75 °C operating range covers unheated utility rooms and outdoor enclosures in most climates. The 10 000 mechanical switching cycles is typical for this class — it's not a contactor meant for daily load switching, but it'll handle occasional on-off operation for isolation and testing without wearing out early.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings of the 5SL6406-6?

It's a 4-pole, B-curve miniature circuit breaker rated 6 A at 400 V AC with a 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. It measures 72 mm wide, 76 mm deep, and operates from -40 °C to 75 °C.

How do I get pricing and availability for the 5SL6406-6?

Submit an RFQ — we source this through independent distribution and confirm current pricing and availability at quote time. No stock figures on the page, but we can tell you what the channel looks like.

Will the 5SL6406-6 drop into a panel specified around the 5SL6016-7KL?

The 5SL6406-6 is a 4-pole breaker (72 mm wide, 4 modular units), while the 5SL6016-7KL is a 1-pole unit (18 mm wide). They share the same SENTRON platform and DIN-rail footprint, but a 4-pole won't fit a panel layout designed for single-pole breakers without changing the busbar and rail space allocation.
