RCS2A-12V

Overview

The RCS2A-12V is a single-phase EMC/EMI line filter module manufactured by R-K Electronics, Inc. Designed for AC power line applications, it operates at a rated voltage of 240VAC and supports frequencies between 50Hz and 60Hz. The component features wire leads for connection and utilizes a 0.47 microfarad capacitance with 220 ohms resistance characteristics. It is classified as a transient voltage filter intended for general-purpose noise suppression in electrical control systems.

Feature Summary

• Provides electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) suppression for single-phase AC power lines
• Designed to attenuate transient voltage spikes and noise on the power supply
• Constructed with wire leads for direct integration into electrical circuits

Applications

• General purpose noise suppression in electrical control cabinets
• Power line filtering for industrial automation equipment
• Transient voltage protection in motor control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number RCS2A-12V against official R-K Electronics documentation to confirm current availability and RoHS3 compliance status. Ensure that the 240VAC rating and wire lead termination style match your system requirements before procurement. Cross-reference datasheets from authorized distributors to validate technical specifications and avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when single-phase EMI/RFI filtering is required for 240VAC circuits operating at 50 or 60Hz. The choice depends on the need for transient voltage suppression and general-purpose noise reduction in electrical controls. Confirm that the wire lead termination method is compatible with the installation environment and that the capacitance value meets the specific filtering needs of the application.
