The A9F74106 is a 6‑ampere, single‑pole miniature circuit breaker from Schneider Electric’s Acti9 iC60N series, featuring a C‑curve tripping characteristic (magnetic trip set at 8 × In). This C‑curve offers a well‑balanced response between thermal overload protection and tolerance of moderate inrush currents, making it an ideal choice for general lighting circuits, socket outlets, small power distribution, and control panels in commercial, industrial, and residential environments. Rated at 10 kA breaking capacity at 220‑240 V AC under the EN/IEC 60947‑2 industrial standard and 6 kA at 230 V AC per the residential EN/IEC 60898‑1 norm, this MCB ensures reliable fault clearance across a wide range of installations. The device integrates Schneider’s signature VisiTrip window, which instantly highlights the tripped pole to slash diagnostic downtime, and the VisiSafe green strip that delivers undeniable visual proof of contact separation – a fundamental safety guarantee for electricians performing downstream work. Its fast‑make/quick‑break mechanism, independent of the toggle handle, assures consistent switching performance over 10,000 electrical and 20,000 mechanical cycles. With a compact 18 mm width (2 modular pitches) and DIN‑rail clip‑on mounting, it maximises cabinet space. The double‑tunnel terminals accept rigid conductors up to 25 mm² and flexible up to 16 mm², with a 2 N·m torque. The breaker offers IP20 terminal protection and IP40 when enclosed, operating reliably from -35 °C to +70 °C. Sustainability credentials include halogen‑free plastics, PVC‑free construction, a 54% recyclability rate, and a total lifecycle carbon footprint of only 8 kg CO₂ eq., reflecting Schneider Electric’s ongoing commitment to eco‑efficient energy management.
