Product details

The Siemens 5SN6640-7CN is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker rated 40 A with a C-curve trip characteristic, 3P+N four-pole design, and a 6 kA breaking capacity at 400 V AC per EN 60898.

The 4-module width (72 mm) matches the standard 4-pole MCB slot — no surprises swapping into a panel laid out for SENTRON or comparable DIN-rail breakers. Solid conductors up to 25 mm² fit the terminals, which covers most 40 A feed circuits. Power loss is 3.3 W per pole in hot operating state at rated current — about 13.2 W total for all four poles. That's moderate for a 40 A breaker; check your enclosure's thermal derating if packing several breakers side by side.

Halogen-free and silicon-free construction, sealable for tamper-proofing. Supplementary devices can be installed (auxiliary contacts, shunt trips, alarm switches) via the accessory slots. Frequency rating is 50/60 Hz; maximum operating voltage is 440 V AC multi-phase.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 5SN6640-7CN?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels. The part is a standard SENTRON catalog item, so lead times are typically short for active-production breakers.

What is the closest functional second-source to 5SN6640-7CN?

The 5SL4363-7 is the closest peer in the same SENTRON family — also 40 A C-curve, but it is a 3-pole breaker with a 10 kA breaking capacity and no switched neutral. It will not directly replace a 4-pole 5SN6640-7CN without rewiring the neutral circuit and verifying the panel's short-circuit rating.

Will 5SN6640-7CN drop into a panel specified around 5SL4363-7?

No — the 5SN6640-7CN is 4-module wide (72 mm) with a switched neutral pole, while the 5SL4363-7 is 3-module wide (54 mm) without neutral switching. The footprint and wiring differ; you would need to rework the neutral bus and check the available DIN space.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SN6640-7CN?

The part carries EN 60898 certification for the 6 kA breaking capacity rating. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. Standard Siemens documentation includes CE declaration of conformity and RoHS/REACH compliance statements available through the product support portal.
