RG1676-18

Overview

The Electrocube RG1676-18 is a first-order low-pass RC EMI filter designed for single-phase applications. It features a block configuration with four leads and incorporates specific resistor-capacitor values to achieve high-frequency attenuation. The component utilizes a resistance of 220 Ohms and a capacitance of 0.47 microfarads to suppress contact arcing and filter electromagnetic interference in heavy-duty environments.

Feature Summary

• Provides first-order low-pass filtering characteristics for effective EMI suppression
• Utilizes carefully selected resistor-capacitor values for high-frequency attenuation
• Designed for arc suppression and noise reduction in heavy-duty industrial settings

Applications

• Single-phase power line filtering
• Contact arcing suppression in industrial machinery
• Electromagnetic interference mitigation in electronic equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact electrical parameters against the manufacturer datasheet, specifically confirming the 220 Ohm resistance and 0.47 microfarad capacitance values. Ensure the block package style and four-lead configuration match the system requirements. Confirm that the component meets the voltage and current ratings necessary for the intended heavy-duty application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a first-order low-pass response is sufficient for the target frequency range. The fixed RC values determine the cutoff frequency; ensure these align with the noise spectrum requiring suppression. Consider the physical block form factor and lead arrangement for panel mounting compatibility within the assembly constraints.

Part Context

The RG1676 series consists of single-phase heavy-duty RC networks developed by Electrocube. These components are engineered to protect electronic equipment from costly failures caused by contact arcing and electrical noise. The series offers robust solutions for industrial automation and power control applications where reliable signal integrity is critical.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other RG1676 variants such as RG1676-10 or RG1676-14 if different RC values or surge suppression capabilities are required. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same block package type and lead configuration to ensure mechanical fit without modification.
