RG1983-6

Overview

The Electrocube RG1983-6 is a single-phase RC network designed for arc suppression. It integrates a 0.5 µF polyester film capacitor with a 100 Ω resistor. The unit operates at a rated DC voltage of 200 V and dissipates 0.5 W. Tolerances are ±10% for both capacitance and resistance. It features axial leads for through-hole mounting within a rectangular package, suitable for temperatures ranging from -55 °C to 80 °C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a 0.5 µF capacitor and 100 Ω resistor in a single compact housing
• Designed specifically for arc suppression across coils and contacts
• Supports free-hanging installation due to compact physical dimensions

Applications

• Arc suppression for AC/DC coils
• Contact protection in switching circuits
• Single-phase motor control circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., -6-12) against the required resistance value, as the base series includes variants with different ohmic ratings. Confirm lead length requirements for your PCB or terminal block layout. Ensure the 200V DC rating meets your circuit's peak voltage specifications. Check RoHS compliance status if required by your assembly standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a combined RC snubber is needed for single-phase applications. The 0.5 µF capacitance and 100 Ω resistance provide standard damping for many industrial contactor coils. Consider the 0.5W power rating to ensure adequate thermal margin. Verify that the axial lead configuration fits your mechanical constraints compared to surface mount alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Electrocube RG1983 series of single-phase RC networks. These components are engineered to suppress electrical arcing and reduce electromagnetic interference generated by inductive loads. The series offers various combinations of capacitance and resistance values tailored for different coil voltages and current ratings.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' single-phase RC networks with identical 0.5 µF / 100 Ω / 200V specifications. Ensure any replacement maintains the same axial lead spacing and power dissipation rating to fit existing mounting hardware without modification.
