RP186-16-0-QD

Overview

The RP186-16-0-QD is a single-stage power line filter from the Astrodyne TDI RP186 series. It features an IEC C19 panel mount inlet and supports a current rating of 16A at 250VAC. The unit operates at 50/60Hz with zero capacitance (0nF) to minimize leakage current. Constructed for chassis mounting, it utilizes tab connectors for termination. The component complies with EN60939 standards and carries CURUS certification. Physical dimensions are approximately 75mm in length and 38mm in height, suitable for high-performance applications requiring low noise without capacitive coupling.

Feature Summary

• Single-stage EMI filtering architecture designed for high performance
• Zero capacitance configuration ensures minimal leakage current
• IEC C19 receptacle interface for standardized power entry
• Tab connector termination for secure electrical connection

Applications

• Industrial automation equipment
• Process control systems
• Power line communication infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the RP186-16-0-QD designation, as suffixes may indicate variations in terminal type or certification. Confirm compliance requirements such as CURUS and EN60939 against project specifications. Ensure the receiving facility has the necessary tools for chassis mounting and tab connector termination. Review the official datasheet for mechanical tolerances and thermal derating curves before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when zero leakage current is critical, distinguishing it from standard filters with X/Y capacitors. The 16A rating suits moderate power loads compared to higher-capacity series units. The C19 inlet accommodates larger cables than C14 variants. Verify that the tab connector style aligns with existing PCB or busbar interfaces. Consider the physical footprint constraints relative to the 75mm length and 38mm height dimensions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the RP186 series, which focuses on ultra-high performance single-stage filtering. Unlike the RP300 or RP400 series designed for three-phase delta configurations, the RP186 targets single-phase AC power lines. The 'QD' suffix typically denotes specific terminal or packaging characteristics within the manufacturer's lineup, differentiating it from other RP186 variants like the RP186-20-4.7-QD.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other RP186 series models with compatible current ratings, such as the RP186-20-0-QD if higher amperage is acceptable. Verify that any replacement maintains the zero-capacitance specification to preserve leakage current limits. Ensure the replacement retains the C19 inlet and tab connector interface to avoid mechanical redesign.
