Product details

Rated 63 A at 230 V AC with a C tripping characteristic, it interrupts overcurrents and short-circuits up to 6 kA per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2.

The C-curve (tripping characteristic C) means the magnetic trip activates at 5 to 10 times rated current — so for a 63 A MCB, the instantaneous trip threshold sits between 315 A and 630 A. That suits loads with moderate inrush, like lighting banks, small motor circuits, and general-purpose socket outlets. If your load has high inrush (transformers, large motors), you would step up to a D-curve; for resistive-only loads, a B-curve would trip faster on minor surges. The 6 kA breaking capacity is the same under both EN 60898 (household) and IEC 60947-2 (industrial) standards, so it qualifies for either classification — no derating needed when moving between residential and light industrial panels. The 1P+N pole configuration means the neutral is switched but not monitored for overcurrent — the thermal-magnetic protection lives only on the phase pole. That is standard for single-phase final circuits where the neutral is bonded at the transformer; if you need full protection on both poles (for a two-phase load or an IT system), you would need a 2P MCB instead. The neutral conductor switching feature is explicitly listed, so the neutral pole opens and closes with the phase — useful for isolation during maintenance. Terminals accept solid or stranded conductors from 0.75 mm² up to 25 mm², with a tightening torque of 2.5 to 3 N·m. That 25 mm² upper end is generous for a 63 A breaker — it lets you land the incoming feed with a 4 mm² or 6 mm² cable and still have headroom for parallel feeds if needed. The IP20 rating is typical for DIN-rail components inside an enclosed panel; it provides finger-safe touch protection on the front, but the terminals are only protected when conductors are connected.

The housing is 36 mm wide (2 width units at 18 mm each), 90 mm tall, and 76 mm deep.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SL6563-7BB and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ against this listing; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time. No stock count or price is published here.

What is 5SL6563-7BB's listed depth?

The depth is 76 mm, with an installation depth of 70 mm. That 6 mm difference accounts for the front toggle and terminal clearance.

What conductor sizes does 5SL6563-7BB accept?

Solid and stranded conductors from 0.75 mm² up to 25 mm². The screw terminals require a tightening torque of 2.5 to 3 N·m.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 5SL6563-7BB?

The product carries approvals per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. For RoHS, REACH, and UL documentation, refer to the manufacturer's declaration available through the product support page.
