Product details

What this 5SY6 D-curve MCB does on the line

The Siemens 5SY6213-8 is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker from the SENTRON 5SY6 series, rated 13 A at 400 V AC with a D tripping characteristic — meaning it tolerates the high inrush currents of motor and transformer loads without nuisance tripping, then clears fast on a hard fault.

Depth is 76 mm (installation depth 70 mm), width 36 mm, height 90 mm — fits standard 2-module DIN-rail cutouts. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction.

Approvals and documentation

Rated per EN 60898 (6 kA), IEC 60947-2 (15 kA AC, 15 kA DC at 72 V), and UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235 (5 kA). Touch protection built in. Sealable terminals top and bottom. Neutral conductor switching is not included — this is a 2-pole breaker for line/load switching, not a 1P+N device.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SY6213-8 and how is it quoted?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock figures or lead-time numbers on this page.

What is the closest functional second-source to 5SY6213-8?

The 5SY7140-8CC is a 2-pole D-curve MCB from the same SENTRON family, but it is rated at 40 A — a different current class. It will not drop into the same BOM line without a coordination review; the 5SY6213-8 is the 13 A D-curve variant.

What are the key ratings of 5SY6213-8?

2 poles, D characteristic, 13 A at 400 V AC, 50/60 Hz. Breaking capacity: 6 kA per EN 60898, 15 kA per IEC 60947-2, and 5 kA per UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235. DC rating 15 kA at 72 V.

Will 5SY6213-8 drop into a panel specified for 5SY7140-8CC without rewiring?

No — the 5SY7140-8CC is a 40 A breaker; the 5SY6213-8 is 13 A. They share the same 2-module footprint and DIN-rail mount, but the current rating mismatch means the circuit protection would be undersized for a 40 A load. Rewiring or a coordination check is required.
