RP186-12-47-QD

Overview

The RP186-12-47-QD is a single-phase, single-stage power line filter module manufactured by Astrodyne TDI. Designed for high-performance electromagnetic interference suppression, this component operates at a rated current of 12 A and a voltage of 250 VAC at 50/60 Hz. It features a capacitance value of 47 nF (indicated by the '47' suffix) and utilizes quick-connect terminals for installation. The unit weighs approximately 0.057 kg and is constructed to meet stringent EMC standards.

Feature Summary

• Single-stage design for effective noise attenuation
• Quick-connect terminal configuration for rapid assembly
• IEC 320-C14 compatible inlet interface
• High-performance filtering for sensitive electronics

Applications

• Power supply input stages
• Battery charger systems
• Portable electronic devices requiring EMI suppression

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific capacitance interpretation for the '47' suffix against the official datasheet, as it may denote 47nF or differ in other series. Confirm that the quick-connect pin dimensions match your PCB or wire harness requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range of -25°C to 100°C aligns with your environmental conditions. Check RoHS compliance status for your region's regulatory needs before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, single-phase filter is required for 12A circuits. The quick-connect feature simplifies integration compared to screw-terminal alternatives. Consider the physical footprint and weight constraints if space is limited. Verify that the 250VAC rating is sufficient for your local mains voltage. Compare leakage current specifications if safety isolation is critical for the end application.

Part Context

This component belongs to the RP186 series of power line filters from Astrodyne TDI. The series offers various current ratings and capacitance options to suit different EMC requirements. The RP186 modules are designed for chassis mounting or direct connection to IEC inlet connectors. They provide a balance between performance and size for commercial and industrial equipment.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other RP186 variants with similar current ratings, such as RP186-6-.47-QD for lower current applications. Cross-reference pinouts and mounting holes with competitors like TE Connectivity or Schaffner. Ensure any replacement maintains the same single-stage topology and quick-connect interface to avoid redesigning the enclosure.
