Product details

The Siemens 5SY4606-5 is a SENTRON 5SY4 miniature circuit breaker — 4-pole, 3P+N configuration, rated 6 A at 400 V AC. The tripping characteristic A means it trips on short-circuit at 2 to 3 times In (12–18 A), designed to protect semiconductor loads or long cable runs where standard B or C curves would be too slow to catch a fault before the device fails.

Mounts via quick assembly system (DIN rail compatible), any mounting position. Ambient range -40 to +70 °C covers both cold storage and hot panel environments.

DC rating and approvals

UL 1077 and CSA C22.2 No. 235 listing at 5 kA AC covers North American supplementary protection applications.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 5SY4606-5?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. This part is sourced to order through independent distribution; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the difference between 5SY4606-5 and 5SY6602-8?

The 5SY6602-8 is a 2-pole unit; this 5SY4606-5 is 4-pole (3P+N). They share the same 5SY4 platform, same 6 A rating and characteristic A, but the pole count is different — they are not drop-in interchangeable without rewiring the panel.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SY4606-5?

The part carries approvals per EN 60898, IEC 60947-2, UL 1077, and CSA C22.2 No. 235. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. Standard Siemens documentation includes RoHS and REACH declarations.
