The 5SN series is a current-production line, so this order code is an active BOM line item, not an obsolete cross-reference.
The 6 kA rating is the lower bound for residential/commercial duty; in an industrial panel, plan on the 15 kA number for coordination studies.
Voltage and conductor specs
On the DC side it's rated up to 72 V. The terminals accept solid conductors up to 35 mm², which is generous for a 2-pole breaker — it handles the larger wire sizes you'd see on feeder circuits or sub-distribution. Power loss per pole is 2.2 W in hot operating state at rated current, so thermal derating inside a crowded enclosure is worth checking if you're packing multiple units side by side.
This is a current-production Siemens SENTRON MCB, sourced through independent distribution channels. For BOM-freeze or tender submissions, the 5SN6225-7CP is a standard catalog item with no special lead-time flags — quote to order.
