The Schneider Electric A9F04601 is a 1 A miniature circuit breaker from the Acti9 iC60N series, built for distribution-level protection on DIN-rail panels. It's a 1P+N thermal-magnetic breaker with a C-curve — meaning it trips magnetically at 8 x In (±20 %), so it handles moderate inrush from small motor starters or lighting ballasts without nuisance tripping, but clears a hard short fast.
Breaking capacity and standards
Rated breaking capacity hits 50 kA Icu at 220–240 V AC per IEC 60947-2, and 6 kA Icn at 230 V per IEC 60898-1. That dual-rating means it's certified for both industrial (60947-2) and residential/commercial (60898-1) installations — a single part covers the panel builder's coordination study and the site's wiring rules.
Snaps onto standard DIN rail, occupies 4 x 9 mm pitches (36 mm wide). The neutral is on the left, fixed position; no swapping for reversed-phase panels.
