Product details

What this 1-pole MCB delivers — and where the ratings matter

Its headline numbers: 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 for residential/light-commercial fault duty, and 30 kA per IEC 60947-2 for industrial installations where higher prospective fault currents are expected — the 30 kA figure is the one that matters when you're coordinating with upstream transformers or large drives. On the DC side it's rated to 72 V maximum, making it usable for control-voltage protection in panels with 24–48 VDC supplies stepped up through a converter. The 18 mm width (1 modular unit) snaps onto standard DIN rail, with an installation depth of 70 mm and overall depth of 76 mm — identical footprint to the 5SL series, so it drops into a panel specced for a 5SL4106-7CC without rewiring or re-drilling the gland plate.

Accepts solid conductors up to 35 mm² at the terminals — enough for the outgoing feeder on a 63 A sub-distribution board.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SN6101-8CP?

6 kA per EN 60898 for residential/light-commercial duty, and 30 kA per IEC 60947-2 for industrial installations with higher fault currents.

Will 5SN6101-8CP drop into a panel specified around 5SL4106-7CC without rewiring?

Yes — both share the same 18 mm width, 76 mm depth, 70 mm installation depth, and DIN-rail mounting. The 5SN6101-8CP is a direct physical fit; no panel modification or re-drilling needed.

Where can I buy 5SN6101-8CP and how is it quoted?
