RG1983-8

Overview

The Electrocube RG1983-8 is a single-phase RC network featuring a 0.5 µF polyester film capacitor and a 220 Ω resistor. It operates at 125 VAC with stranded wire leads for through-hole mounting. The unit provides phase shifting or timing functions in AC circuits, constructed with axial-leaded components housed in a rectangular package suitable for industrial applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a 0.5 µF capacitor and 220 Ω resistor into a single assembly
• Designed for single-phase AC circuit applications
• Utilizes stranded wire leads for secure through-hole installation

Applications

• Single-phase motor control circuits
• AC phase shifting networks
• Timing circuit implementations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage rating (125 VAC) and resistance value (220 Ω) against your circuit requirements. Confirm that the component is a complete RC network rather than a standalone capacitor. Ensure the lead type matches your board layout needs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed RC time constant is required for single-phase AC systems. The integrated design simplifies assembly compared to discrete parts. Ensure the operating voltage does not exceed the 125 VAC rating for reliable performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to Electrocube's RG1983 series of single-phase RC networks. These units combine passive components to provide specific electrical characteristics for AC signal processing. The series offers various combinations of capacitance and resistance values tailored for different phase and timing requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other RG1983 series variants with matching 0.5 µF and 220 Ω specifications. Verify lead length and package dimensions before replacing to ensure mechanical compatibility.
