Product details

Breaking capacity and voltage ratings

The 5SN6106-8CP: Rated 6 kA per EN 60898 and 30 kA per IEC 60947-2. That dual rating covers both residential/commercial branch circuits (EN 60898) and industrial panel applications (IEC 60947-2) where higher fault current is expected. DC rated maximum is 72 V — useful for control circuit protection in DC bus applications.

DIN-rail footprint and wiring

Accepts solid conductors up to 35 mm² — that's a heavy feed for a 1-pole MCB, typically used for incoming supply tails or large-gauge branch circuits.

Power loss and thermal considerations

For a single-pole breaker in a crowded DIN rail, that's modest — no special derating needed in standard enclosures, but worth noting if grouping many breakers in a sealed box.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SN6106-8CP?

6 kA per EN 60898 and 30 kA per IEC 60947-2. The 30 kA rating applies for industrial panel applications under IEC 60947-2.

Will 5SN6106-8CP drop into a panel specified around 5SL6120-7?

Yes — both are 1-pole, 18 mm wide, 76 mm deep SENTRON MCBs with the same DIN-rail footprint and 70 mm installation depth. The 5SL6120-7 is a 20 A Type C; the 5SN6106-8CP is a different amperage variant but shares the same mechanical envelope and terminal capacity.

How do I get current pricing and availability for 5SN6106-8CP?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
