Product details

The Siemens Betagard 5SL7206-3RC is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) with a K tripping characteristic, rated 6 A at 415 V AC and a breaking capacity of 15 kA per EN 60898.

The IP20 rating applies with connected conductors; the housing is sealable and halogen-free, suitable for clean-room or low-smoke environments.

Thermal derating & ratings

Rated 6 A at 50 °C ambient; derate to 5.7 A at 60 °C. At 30 °C the breaker handles 6.5 A continuous. The K characteristic means magnetic trip at 8–12× In, so it holds through motor inrush but clears fast on hard shorts. Overvoltage category III, pollution degree 2 — standard for distribution panels.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SL7206-3RC and get a price?

The 5SL7206-3RC is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — confirmed at quote time.

What is the breaking capacity of 5SL7206-3RC?

15 kA per EN 60898 at 415 V AC. That is the standard interrupting rating for this class — sufficient for most secondary distribution panels.

Will 5SL7206-3RC drop into a panel built for 5SL6016-7KL?

Both are 2-pole MCBs on a 36 mm DIN footprint, so the physical fit is the same. The 5SL7206-3RC uses a K characteristic vs the B curve of the 5SL6016-7KL — check that the load's inrush profile matches K curve (motor/transformer duty) and that the 6 A rating and 15 kA breaking capacity meet your circuit requirements.
