Breaching charges are primarily used for tactical entry into a room or building. The breaching charge explodes inwards towards the room it has been planted against. This means that when the charge has exploded it launches shrapnel inside the room, and can be swiftly followed up by a room entry. Unlike C4 you can stand next to the breaching charge when it explodes to take full advantage of the shrapnel launched out and push straight away.
