Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 5SY3006-6 is a 1P+N miniature circuit breaker rated 6 A with a B tripping characteristic, breaking capacity of 4.5 kA per EN 60898 at 230 V AC.

The 6 A rating and B-curve mean this breaker trips between 3 and 5 times rated current — typically 18 to 30 A — making it suited for resistive or lightly inductive loads like lighting circuits or small heating elements where inrush is low. The 1P+N configuration switches both phase and neutral, which is required in some national wiring regulations (e.g., UK, parts of Asia) and simplifies isolation at the final circuit. The compact 18 mm width (1 width unit) and 76 mm depth fit standard 35 mm DIN-rail enclosures with a 70 mm installation depth.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 5SY3006-6 used for?

It is a 6 A B-curve miniature circuit breaker for overcurrent and short-circuit protection of final circuits in residential and light commercial distribution boards, switching both phase and neutral.

Where can I buy the 5SY3006-6?

The 5SY3006-6 is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

How does the 5SY3006-6 compare to the 5SY6040-6?

Both are 1P+N SENTRON MCBs with the same 18 mm width and 76 mm depth, but the 5SY6040-6 is rated 40 A with a 6 kA breaking capacity and a mechanical service life of 4,000 cycles, versus 6 A, 4.5 kA, and 10,000 cycles for the 5SY3006-6. The 5SY6040-6 is a higher-current variant for larger loads; the 5SY3006-6 is for smaller final circuits.
