RG1983-8-6

Overview

The Electrocube RG1983-8-6 is a single-phase RC network designed for EMI/RFI suppression. It features a capacitance of 0.5 MFD with a tolerance of +/- 10% and a resistance of 220 Ohms. The component is rated for 200VDC or 125VAC operation, with a power dissipation capacity of 1/2 Watt. It utilizes radial leads measuring 6 inches in length, constructed from #18AWG MTW wire, facilitating direct mounting across electrical contacts or coils.

Feature Summary

• Compact radial design enables free-hanging installation across coils and contacts
• Single-phase RC network configuration for effective noise suppression
• Utilizes durable MTW leaded construction for robust connectivity

Applications

• Suppression across electrical contactors
• Noise reduction for relay coils
• EMI filtering in single-phase AC circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage rating requirements against your circuit's operational parameters, as this unit supports both 200VDC and 125VAC. Confirm that the 6-inch lead length accommodates your physical mounting constraints. Ensure compatibility with the target load type to guarantee effective suppression performance without exceeding the 1/2 Watt power dissipation limit.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-pass filter is required for single-phase applications involving moderate voltage levels. The 0.5 MFD capacitance and 220 Ohm resistance provide a specific time constant suitable for standard industrial control circuits. Consider the radial lead format if space allows for flexible wiring compared to rigid terminal blocks.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Electrocube RG1983 series of single-phase RC networks. These components are engineered for industrial environments where electromagnetic interference must be mitigated. The series offers various capacitance and resistance combinations tailored to different coil and contact ratings, ensuring reliable operation in motor control and switching applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the RG1986-8-6, which shares similar RC values but differs in voltage ratings (250VAC/600VDC). Verify that any replacement maintains the same capacitance, resistance, and lead length specifications to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility within the existing assembly.
