RG1986-10

Overview

The Electrocube RG1986-10 is a single-phase RC EMI filter designed for general-purpose applications. It features a capacitance of 0.5 microfarad and an equivalent series resistance of 470 ohms. The component is rated for an operating voltage of 600 volts DC or 250 volts AC. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 80°C and utilizes a radial through-hole mounting package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a resistor and capacitor into a single low-pass filter unit for effective noise suppression
• Designed for free-hanging installation across coils and contacts in compact spaces
• Constructed with stranded wire leads for secure mechanical attachment

Applications

• Single-phase power line filtering
• Suppression of electromagnetic interference in motor control circuits
• Protection of contactors and relays from voltage transients

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against manufacturer documentation to confirm exact resistance and capacitance values, as variations exist within the RG1986 series. Ensure the selected variant matches the required voltage rating and lead length for the intended PCB or terminal block layout. Confirm active status and availability directly with authorized distributors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed RC network is required for single-phase AC/DC lines. The 470-ohm resistance and 0.5-microfarad capacitance provide specific attenuation characteristics suitable for general EMI reduction. Consider the radial package and lead type for compatibility with existing mounting infrastructure and thermal requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Electrocube RG1986 series of MTW-leaded single-phase RC networks. These components are engineered for compact size and ease of installation in industrial environments. The series offers various resistance and capacitance combinations to address different filtering needs while maintaining robust performance under standard operating conditions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Electrocube RG1986 variants with matching electrical parameters, such as RG1986-8 (22 ohms) or RG1986-12 (33 ohms), provided the circuit design accommodates the resistance difference. Verify that any replacement maintains the 0.5 microfarad capacitance and 600V DC / 250V AC ratings.
