The Schneider Electric A9F04616 is an Acti9 iC60N miniature circuit-breaker rated 16 A with a C-curve, 1P+N configuration, and a breaking capacity of 36 kA Icu at 12-60 V AC 50/60 Hz per EN/IEC 60947-2. It's a thermal-magnetic MCB for distribution panels, mounted on DIN rail, and carries IP20 protection — meaning it's suited for dry indoor enclosures where accidental finger contact is the main concern, not washdown environments.
The 16 A rated current (In) and C-curve (magnetic trip at 8 x In ±20%) make this MCB a standard choice for general-purpose distribution circuits feeding resistive and moderate inductive loads — think lighting banks, socket outlets, and small motor starters. The 1P+N pole configuration protects the phase and switches the neutral, common in single-phase final subcircuits. Overvoltage category IV means it's rated for the main distribution board, not sub-distribution; pollution degree 3 covers conductive pollution typical in industrial panels. Breaking capacity is worth a close look: 36 kA Icu at 12-60 V AC drops to 20 kA at 100-133 V AC and 10 kA at 220-240 V AC. Under the residential standard EN/IEC 60898-1, the Icn is 6000 A at 230 V AC. For a 400 V three-phase system, you'd need a different pole configuration; this 1P+N unit is single-phase only.
Wire stripping length 14 mm. Neutral is on the left, phase on the right — consistent with the Acti9 busbar system. The toggle control and trip indicator give local status without needing to open the panel door.
