RG1986-6

Overview

The Electrocube RG1986-6 is a single-phase RC EMI filter network designed for radial lead mounting. It features a capacitance of 0.5 microfarad and a resistance of 100 ohms per element. The component is rated for an operating voltage of 250 VAC and a maximum DC voltage of 600V. It has a power rating of 1/2 watt and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +80°C. Physical dimensions are 1.250 inches in length, 0.580 inches in width, and 0.870 inches in height.

Feature Summary

• Single-phase RC network configuration for arc suppression
• Radial lead construction with stranded wire leads
• Low-pass filtering characteristics for EMI/RFI mitigation

Applications

• Arc suppressing circuits
• EMI filtering in single-phase AC systems
• Power supply input stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific resistance value against project requirements, as datasheet sources indicate variations between 100 ohms and 220 ohms for similar model numbers. Confirm that the 250 VAC rating aligns with the target circuit's operational voltage. Ensure the physical footprint matches the available board space, noting the specific lead length and diameter specifications provided by the manufacturer.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, single-stage RC filter is required for low-frequency noise reduction in single-phase applications. The 100 ohm resistance provides a specific time constant suitable for certain arc suppression needs. Consider the thermal derating at higher ambient temperatures within the specified -40°C to +80°C range to ensure reliable operation under load.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Electrocube RG1986 series of RC networks. These components are typically used in industrial and commercial equipment requiring simple, robust filtering solutions. The series offers various resistance and capacitance combinations to tailor the cutoff frequency and impedance matching for different power line conditions.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes from other manufacturers offering identical 0.5µF capacitance and 100Ω resistance values. Verify that any replacement maintains the same radial lead spacing and physical envelope to fit existing PCB layouts without modification.
