The 5SL6563-7 occupies 2 modular width units (36 mm) on a DIN rail, with a depth of 76 mm and an installation depth of 70 mm. The 90 mm height matches the SENTRON 5SL family footprint, so it rows cleanly alongside other 5SL breakers and accessories in a shared enclosure.
The C-curve characteristic (5–10× In) avoids nuisance tripping on motor or capacitor inrush while still clearing low-level overloads. Power loss per pole is 5.2 W in hot operating state at rated current, which matters for thermal derating when grouping multiple breakers in a small enclosure. The 1P+N design switches both phase and neutral, with the neutral pole switching but not protected — typical for single-phase final circuits where neutral isolation is required.
