RP180-20-4.7-QD

Overview

The RP180-20-4.7-QD is a high-performance power entry module from the Astrodyne TDI RP180 series, designed for chassis mounting applications. It integrates an IEC C14 input connector with a single-stage power line filter rated for 20 A at 250 VAC. The unit features a 4.7 nF capacitance value and utilizes quick-connect tab terminals for circuit termination. Certified under EN60939 standards, this component operates within standard 50 Hz and 60 Hz frequency ranges, providing essential electromagnetic interference suppression for sensitive electronic equipment requiring reliable AC power interface solutions.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an IEC C14 power receptacle with a single-stage filtering stage
• Provides high-performance electromagnetic interference suppression
• Utilizes quick-connect tab connectors for secure electrical termination

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring filtered AC power inputs
• Medical equipment chassis needing certified power entry modules
• Test and measurement instruments demanding low leakage current

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires the RP180 series configuration rather than alternative Astrodyne TDI models like the RP186 or RP105 which may differ in connector type or current rating. Confirm that the 20 A current capacity aligns with the system's maximum load requirements. Ensure the chassis mounting style and tab connector termination are compatible with the existing panel design and wiring harness specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a combined power entry and filtering solution is required for 20 A circuits. The RP180 series offers a compact form factor compared to discrete filter assemblies. Consider the IEC C14 connector compatibility with downstream equipment cords. Evaluate the 4.7 nF capacitance against system leakage current limits, as higher capacitance values may exceed strict safety standards for certain medical or isolated applications requiring lower leakage thresholds.

Part Context

This component belongs to the RP180 series of power entry modules manufactured by Astrodyne TDI. The series is characterized by integrated filtering capabilities within standard power inlet designs. Unlike the RP186 which uses a C19 connector, or the RP105 which uses quick connects without an integrated inlet, the RP180 specifically combines the IEC C14 interface with filtering functions in a single chassis-mountable unit.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Engineers should consult official Astrodyne TDI cross-reference guides or datasheets for verified equivalents. Do not assume interchangeability with other series such as RP186 or RP130 due to differences in connector types, current ratings, and physical dimensions.
