Supplied from remaining channel stock; full specifications, lifecycle and same-series options are below.","salesMarkdown":"## Overview The A9C24740 is a Schneider Acti 9 iCT remote control switch, 3-pole, rated for 40 A switching current and a 240 V AC coil supply. It is designed for lighting control in residential and small commercial distribution boards, complying with IEC/EN 61095. The module clips onto a DIN-rail, measures 54 mm wide by 85 mm high by 60 mm deep, and carries an IP20 rating for in-cabinet installation. This remote control switch uses a maintained-coil control signal — the coil holds the contacts closed as long as the 240 V AC control voltage is present, and drops out when the signal is removed. The 40 A switching current covers resistive and inductive lighting loads, and the 3-pole configuration allows simultaneous switching of three phases or three independent circuits. Rated for 50 Hz AC networks, the switch includes a desynchronized neutral pole technology that ensures the neutral opens after the phases and closes before them, improving safety during maintenance. The action indicator on the front provides local visual confirmation of the contact state. ## Applications The A9C24740 is intended for lighting control in residential and small commercial buildings, typically installed in Acti 9 distribution boards. It is suited for group control of LED lighting — Schneider notes that LED lighting should be controlled as a group to avoid flicker from individual switching. The maintained-coil design makes it appropriate for time-clock or building-management-system driven on/off schedules. The A9C24740 is an active Schneider product with no announced end-of-life. It carries IEC/EN 61095 certification, tropicalisation treatment conforming to EN 60947-4-1 and EN 61095, and pollution degree 2 rating for normal industrial environments. Standard warranty is 18 months from date of manufacture.","metaTitle":"Schneider A9C24740 Acti 9 iCT Remote Control Switch, 3-pole, 40 A","metaDescription":"Schneider Acti 9 iCT A9C24740 remote control switch: 3-pole, 40 A switching, 240 V AC coil, IEC/EN 61095, IP20, clip-on mounting.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Unclassified"],"specifications":{"Depth":"60 mm","Poles":"3P + N","Width":"54 mm","Colour":"White","Height":"85 mm","Standards":"IEC/EN 61095","Cable Entry":"Bottom","Noise level":"30 dB","9 Mm Pitches":"6","Control type":"Remote control","Network type":"AC","Product name":"Acti9 iCT","Maximum power":"2.1 W at 220...240 V AC","Mounting mode":"Clip-on","Market segment":"Residential Small commercial","Technology type":"Desynchronized neutral pole","Tropicalisation":"2 conforming to EN 60947-4-1 2 conforming to EN 61095 2 conforming to IEC 1095","lifecycle_stage":"current","Condition of use":"LED lighting should be controlled as a group","Local signalling":"Action indicator","Mounting support":"35 mm symmetrical DIN rail","Pollution degree":"2","Range Of Product":"Acti9","Device short name":"iCT","Network frequency":"50 Hz","Relative humidity":"95 % at 55 °C","Tightening torque":"Control circuit: 0.8 N.m Power circuit: 3.5 N.m","Compatibility code":"ICT","Device application":"Lighting","Operating altitude":"2000 m","inrush power in VA":"53 VA","Control signal type":"Maintained","Switching frequency":"100 switching operations/day","Electrical durability":"100000 cycles IEC/EN 61095 40 A 50 Hz AC-7A 30000 cycles IEC/EN 61095 15 A 50 Hz AC-7B 30000 cycles IEC/EN 61095 50 Hz AC-7C 100000 cycles EN/IEC 60947-4-1 50 Hz AC-1 30000 cycles EN/IEC 60947-4-1 50 Hz AC-3 30000 cycles EN/IEC 60947-4-1 50 Hz AC-5a 30000 cycles EN/IEC 60947-4-1 50 Hz AC-5b","Mechanical durability":"1000000 cycles","Connections - terminals":"Control circuit: tunnel type terminals2 cable(s) 1.5 mm² rigid Control circuit: tunnel type terminals1 cable(s) 1.5...2.5 mm² rigid Power circuit: tunnel type terminals1 cable(s) 6...16 mm² flexible Power circuit: tunnel type terminals1 cable(s) 6...25 mm² rigid Control circuit: tunnel type terminals2 cable(s) 1.5...2.5 mm² flexible","IP degree of protection":"IP20 conforming to IEC 60529 IP40 (modular enclosure) conforming to IEC 60529","Pole contact composition":"4 NO","Product or component type":"Contactor","[Uc] control circuit voltage":"230...240 V AC 50 Hz","[Ui] rated insulation voltage":"440 V AC 50 Hz","[Ie] rated operational current":"40 A AC-7A 15 A AC-7B","[Ue] rated operational voltage":"220...240 V AC 50 Hz","Hold-in power consumption in VA":"6.5 VA","Ambient air temperature for storage":"-40...60 °C","Ambient air temperature for operation":"-5...60 °C","[Uimp] rated impulse withstand voltage":"4 kV"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$181.47","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/9d26875eccd108cef329d904da001b86.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/be/en/product/A9C24740/contactor-acti9-ict-4-no-3p+n-40-a-230-240-v-ac-50-hz/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/A9C24740/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/A9C24740","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/schneider/A9C24740 when reusing this data.
