The Siemens SENTRON 5SY6513-7CC is a 13 A miniature circuit breaker with a C tripping characteristic, designed for 1P+N (single-pole plus neutral) protection in 230 V AC circuits. Its 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 covers most commercial and light industrial branch circuits, while the 5 kA rating per UL 1077 and CSA C22.2 No.235 opens up North American panel applications. The 36 mm width (2 width units) and quick-assembly mounting system let it snap onto standard DIN rail without tools — a clean fit for crowded enclosures where every millimeter of rail space is planned.
At 13 A, it handles a 3 kW heater bank or a 2.2 kW motor with inrush comfortably. The 6 kA prospective short-circuit current (per EN 60898) means it can safely interrupt a fault up to that level without upstream damage; the 5 kA UL 1077 rating confirms the same for North American supplementary protection installations. The 1P+N configuration switches the phase and disconnects the neutral, which is required in many European distribution boards for single-phase final circuits.
The 36 mm width (2 width units) and 70 mm installation depth leave room for adjacent devices in a 200 mm deep enclosure. Terminals accept 0.75 to 35 mm² solid or stranded copper; the combined terminal top and bottom allow daisy-chaining without extra busbars. Tightening torque is 2.5 to 3.5 N·m — a standard screwdriver setting, no special tool.
