RP186-12-4.7-QD

Overview

The Astrodyne TDI RP186-12-4.7-QD is a single-phase, high-performance power line filter designed for chassis mounting applications. It features an IEC C14 inlet connector and utilizes quick-connect terminals for circuit integration. The unit is rated for 12 A current and 250 VAC voltage at operating frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz. Key electrical specifications include a capacitance value of 4.7 nF and a maximum leakage current of 800 uA. The component complies with EN60939 standards and carries cURus certification.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an IEC C14 inlet receptacle for standardized power connection
• Provides high insertion loss performance in a compact mechanical form factor
• Utilizes quick-connect tab terminals for efficient circuit board termination

Applications

• Industrial automation systems requiring EMI suppression
• Embedded electronic equipment chassis
• Power supplies and inverters needing single-stage filtering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct terminal configuration and compliance certifications match your design requirements. Confirm that the 12 A current rating and 250 VAC voltage limits align with your system's operational parameters before finalizing procurement. Ensure compatibility with the IEC C14 mating connector on the opposing side of the interface.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a combined inlet and filter solution is required to save panel space. The RP186 series offers high performance relative to its size. Consider the quick-connect termination style against available PCB pad layouts. Verify that the 4.7 nF capacitance meets the specific EMI attenuation needs without exceeding leakage current constraints for sensitive downstream electronics.

Part Context

This component belongs to the RP186 series of power line filters manufactured by Astrodyne TDI. The series is characterized by ultra-high performance single-stage filtering capabilities. These units are engineered to provide effective electromagnetic interference suppression while maintaining a low profile suitable for dense chassis-mounted installations.

Replacement Considerations

The RP186-16-4.7-QD serves as a higher current alternative within the same series. Both models share identical physical dimensions, terminal types, and capacitance values. Selection depends primarily on whether the application requires the 12 A or 16 A current rating.
