The Siemens SENTRON 5SL6502-7 is a 1P+N miniature circuit breaker rated 2 A with a C-curve trip characteristic, designed for 230 V AC single-phase circuits. Its 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 (and matching 6 kA per IEC 60947-2) covers residential and light commercial distribution boards where fault levels stay under that threshold. At 2 A it's sized for low-current final subcircuits, not motor or transformer primaries.
Depth is 76 mm, installation depth 70 mm, so it sits flush with other SENTRON 5SL-series breakers in a distribution board. IP20 with conductors connected — fine inside a closed panel, not for wet locations. Sealable cover is standard — useful for utility-metering or tamper-proof installations.
The 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 is the standard domestic rating in most European markets — adequate for TN and TT systems where the prospective short-circuit current at the board doesn't exceed 6 kA. The same 6 kA per IEC 60947-2 gives industrial certification for the same fault level. Power loss is 1.2 W per pole in hot operating state at rated current. In a densely populated board with multiple breakers running near rating, that heat adds up — factor it into enclosure thermal calculations.
