Product details

It interrupts fault currents up to 6 kA at 230 V AC per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 (6 kA each), which covers the standard service-entrance capacity for most residential and light commercial distribution boards. The B-curve trips at 3–5× In, so it suits resistive and lighting loads with low inrush — not motor or transformer circuits where a C or D curve would be needed.

Installs in any mounting position. IP20 with connected conductors — fine inside an enclosed distribution board. Sealable, halogen-free, silicon-free, so it meets clean-room and low-smoke requirements common in infrastructure builds.

Active lifecycle — no obsolescence concern

Listed as Active (current production). Mechanical endurance rated 10,000 operating cycles typical.

Frequently asked questions

Will 5SL6506-6 drop into a panel specified around 5SL6516-6YA without rewiring?

Yes, the 5SL6506-6 shares the same 36 mm width, 76 mm depth, 90 mm height, 2 MW DIN-rail footprint, and 1P+N configuration as the 5SL6516-6YA. The only difference is the current rating — 6 A vs 16 A — so it fits mechanically but will trip at a lower load.
