RCS2L-18

Overview

The RCS2L-18 is a single-phase EMC/EMI line filter module manufactured by R-K Electronics, Inc. Designed for surface mount applications, this component operates at a voltage rating of 240VAC and supports frequencies between 50Hz and 60Hz. It features wire leads for connection and utilizes a capacitor value of 0.47 microfarads. The unit is classified as a transformer filter with specific electrical characteristics tailored for power line filtering in low voltage automation control environments.

Feature Summary

• Provides electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) suppression for single-phase AC power lines
• Designed for surface mount installation to facilitate automated assembly processes
• Constructed with wire leads for direct circuit integration

Applications

• Single-phase AC power line filtering in industrial automation controls
• Electromagnetic compatibility enhancement for low voltage electrical systems
• Surface mount assembly in electronic control panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact datasheet version from authorized distributors or the manufacturer's official documentation before procurement. Confirm that the surface mount package type and wire lead configuration match your PCB design requirements. Ensure the 240VAC rating and 0.47MFD capacitance are suitable for your specific circuit environment. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by your regulatory standards. Cross-reference the part number RCS2L-18 to avoid confusion with similar models like RCS2A-18.

Selection Notes

Select this component when single-phase EMI filtering is required for 240VAC circuits operating at 50-60Hz. The surface mount format is ideal for space-constrained designs requiring automated placement. Consider the 0.47MFD capacitance value for appropriate noise attenuation levels. Verify that wire lead termination is compatible with your assembly method compared to through-hole alternatives.
