Product details

It is rated 13 A at 230 V AC, 50/60 Hz, with a C-curve tripping characteristic (5–10× In, typical for motor and lighting loads with moderate inrush). The C-curve means the breaker holds through short-duration inrush up to about 10× rated current — good for small motors, pumps, and fluorescent lighting banks where a B-curve would nuisance-trip.

Dimensions, mounting, and panel fit

Width is 36 mm (2 modular units on a standard DIN rail), depth 76 mm, height 90 mm, with an installation depth of 70 mm. That 36 mm width means it occupies two adjacent 18 mm slots — check your panel layout if you are swapping from a single-pole breaker; you need the extra slot. Mounting position is any, which helps in tight enclosures where the rail is vertical or upside-down.

Temperature derating — what the ratings actually mean in a warm panel

At 40 °C it derates to 12.37 A, at 45 °C to 11.96 A, and at 55 °C to 11.36 A. Power loss per pole is 1.9 W at rated current in hot operating state; for a 2-pole device that is 3.8 W total dissipated inside the enclosure, so factor that into your thermal budget.

For BOM planning: this is not a phase-out or last-time-buy part.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SL6513-7?

The breaking capacity is 6 kA per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 at 230 V AC. That is the maximum fault current the breaker can safely interrupt.

Will 5SL6513-7 drop into a panel specified for 5SL4363-7?

Both are 1P+N, 2-module-width (36 mm) SENTRON MCBs on the same DIN-rail footprint, so the mechanical fit is identical. The difference is the current rating and possibly the curve — 5SL4363-7 is a different rating; verify your load current and tripping curve before swapping.
