Schneider Electric iC65N 1P C1A Miniature Circuit Breaker – iC65N Series
When a miniature circuit breaker fails in an industrial control panel, the consequences cascade instantly: production lines halt, PLCs lose power, and unprotected wiring becomes a fire hazard. In precision-sensitive environments — from pharmaceutical clean rooms to automotive assembly lines — even a momentary overcurrent event without proper protection can destroy expensive equipment and trigger costly downtime. The Schneider Electric iC65N 1P C1A is engineered to prevent exactly this scenario, delivering fast, reliable overcurrent and short-circuit protection for the most demanding industrial and commercial applications.
Within the acclaimed Schneider Electric iC65N Series, the 1P C1A variant occupies a specialized niche: it is purpose-built for circuits requiring ultra-low rated current (1A) with a standard C-curve tripping characteristic, making it ideal for protecting sensitive instrumentation, control circuits, and low-power automation loads. The iC65N series is one of the most widely deployed MCB families globally, recognized for its compliance with IEC 60898-1 and IEC 60947-2 standards and trusted by panel builders and OEMs across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between iC65N and iC65H?
A: The iC65N has a standard breaking capacity of 6kA (Icn), while the iC65H offers a higher breaking capacity of 10kA. Choose iC65H for installations with higher prospective short-circuit currents.
Q: Is the iC65N 1P C1A suitable for DC circuits?
A: The standard iC65N is rated for AC circuits. For DC applications, Schneider offers specific DC-rated variants. Please contact us to confirm suitability for your application.
Q: Can I add an RCD module to this MCB?
A: Yes. The Vigi iC65 RCD add-on block is compatible with the iC65N range, enabling earth fault protection without replacing the MCB.
Q: What does the C-curve mean for my application?
A: C-curve MCBs trip instantaneously at 5–10 times the rated current. This is suitable for general loads including resistive heaters, lighting, and slightly inductive loads. For motors with high inrush currents, a D-curve MCB may be more appropriate.
Q: Do you provide a certificate of conformity?
A: Yes. Certificates of conformity and test reports are available upon request for all Schneider Electric products supplied by Konmask.com.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: We support single-unit inquiries as well as bulk orders. Contact us for volume pricing on larger quantities.
