The D curve means it's built for high-inrush loads like motor starters and small transformers, not general lighting.
Snaps onto DIN rail, 18 mm wide (2 modular width units), 76 mm deep with a 70 mm installation depth — standard MCB footprint that drops into any 18 mm-spaced enclosure. Mount in any position; rated IP20 with conductors connected, so it's a panel-interior device, not a field-side box.
Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
The 5SL7210-8RC is a 2-pole D-curve Betagard MCB for industrial use; the 5SL4363-7 is a 3-pole C-curve SENTRON MCB for residential/infrastructure. The Betagard carries higher interrupting capacity (15/20 kA vs 10 kA) and a D curve for motor loads. The 5SL4363-7 is 54 mm wide (3 MW units) vs 18 mm (2 MW) — it will not drop into the same DIN rail footprint without rewiring the panel layout.
The part carries ratings per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2, and is vibration-tested per IEC 60068-2-6. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. Standard documentation includes the manufacturer's declaration of conformity for the applicable standards.
