Product details

The A9F06406 is a Schneider Electric Acti9 iC60H miniature circuit breaker: 4 poles, 6 A rated current, B-curve trip characteristic. The B-curve trips magnetically at 4 x In (±20 %), meaning it clears short-circuit faults quickly on resistive or lighting loads where inrush is low — a good fit for control transformers, small power supplies, or general-purpose branch circuits where you want selectivity upstream of a C-curve breaker. Breaking capacity is the headline number here: 42 kA Icu at 12…133 V AC, 30 kA at 220…240 V, 15 kA at 380…415 V, and 10 kA at 440 V (all per EN/IEC 60947-2). Under the 60898-1 standard it carries 10 kA Icn at 400 V. For a 6 A frame that is serious fault-clearing headroom — you can install this near a large transformer or in a high-fault panel without worrying about cascading failure upstream.

The 4-pole body takes 8 x 9 mm pitches — 72 mm wide — so it occupies four module spaces in a distribution board. Height is 91 mm, depth 78.5 mm. Terminals accept double conductors: 1…25 mm² rigid or 1…16 mm² flexible, with a strip length of 14 mm and a tightening torque of 2 N.m. The toggle handle provides local on/off control and a trip indicator shows when the breaker has opened on fault. IP20 rated — suitable for installation inside an enclosed panel only.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy A9F06406 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What is A9F06406's listed depth?

The listed depth is 78.5 mm, which fits within the standard 80 mm deep distribution board cut-out.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for A9F06406?

The part is certified to EN/IEC 60947-2 and EN/IEC 60898-1, with tropicalisation class 2 per IEC 60068-1. It carries suitability for isolation marking per both standards. RoHS and REACH compliance documentation is standard for the Acti9 range, though specific declaration documents should be requested at quote time.

What is the closest alternative to A9F06406 in the same family?

Within the Acti9 iC60 range, the closest sibling is a C-curve variant at the same 6 A / 4P rating — the C-curve trips magnetically at 7-10 x In instead of 4 x In, so it handles higher inrush (motor or transformer loads) without nuisance tripping. The B-curve is preferred for resistive or electronic loads where short-circuit protection speed is the priority.
