RP186-3-10-QD

Overview

The RP186-3-10-QD is a single-phase, single-stage power line filter from the Astrodyne TDI RP186 series. It features a 250 VAC voltage rating and a 3 A current capacity. The unit incorporates a 10 nF capacitance value and utilizes quick connect terminals for electrical termination. Designed for chassis mounting, it operates at 50 Hz or 60 Hz frequencies with a maximum operating temperature of +40°C. Physical dimensions include a length of 65 mm and a height of 40 mm. Leakage current is specified at 1.8 mA. The component holds UL, CSA, and EN compliance certifications.

Feature Summary

• Single-stage EMI/EMC filtering architecture designed for general-purpose noise suppression
• IEC inlet configuration compatible with standard AC power connections
• Chassis mount construction ensuring secure mechanical installation

Applications

• General-purpose electronic equipment protection
• Industrial control systems requiring basic EMI filtering
• Consumer electronics power input stages

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires a single-stage filter rather than a dual-stage alternative like the RP225 series. Confirm that the 3A current rating and 250VAC voltage limit align with the system's operational parameters. Ensure the chassis mounting style and quick connect terminal type are compatible with the existing assembly design before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, single-stage solution is sufficient for noise reduction requirements. Compare against the RP225 series if higher attenuation or dual-stage performance is necessary. Verify that the 1.8 mA leakage current meets safety standards for the intended enclosure. Ensure the physical footprint fits within the designated chassis space constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the RP186 series of ultra-high-performance single-stage IEC inlet filters. It serves as a fundamental EMI/EMC protection device for low-power applications. The series provides a cost-effective solution for basic noise suppression needs in standard AC power environments without requiring complex multi-stage circuitry.
