The Siemens SENTRON 5SP4140-6 is a 1-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) with a B-curve tripping characteristic, rated 40 A at 400 V AC. The 10 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 covers most residential and light commercial panel faults; the 20 kA rating per IEC 60947-2 gives headroom for industrial distribution where higher prospective fault currents are expected.
The 5SP4140-6 occupies 1.5 width units on a DIN rail — slightly wider than a standard 1-module (18 mm) MCB, so check rail space if retrofitting into a populated enclosure. Installation depth is 70 mm, which fits standard distribution boards and small enclosures.
