RP186-6-0-QD

Overview

The RP186-6-0-QD is a single-phase, single-stage power line filter from the Astrodyne TDI RP186 series. It features a 6 A current rating and a 250 VAC voltage rating, designed for operation at 50 Hz or 60 Hz frequencies. The unit utilizes quick connect tab terminals for electrical termination and supports chassis mounting. Key specifications include an IEC 320-C14 inlet interface and compliance with cURus and EN60939 standards.

Feature Summary

• Single-stage EMI/EMC filtering configuration
• IEC 320-C14 inlet interface compatibility
• Quick connect tab terminal termination
• Chassis mount installation style

Applications

• General purpose electronic equipment noise suppression
• Industrial control system power conditioning
• Medical device power line protection

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires a single-stage filter topology rather than dual-stage alternatives within the RP186 family. Confirm that the 6 A current rating aligns with the load requirements and that the quick connect tab terminals are compatible with the mating harness connectors. Ensure the chassis mounting dimensions accommodate the physical space constraints of the enclosure design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, single-stage solution is sufficient for moderate noise attenuation needs. The RP186 series offers high performance relative to its size. Consider the 0 nF capacitance value for applications where leakage current must be minimized, as higher capacitance variants exist in the same series for different noise profiles.

Part Context

This model belongs to the RP186 series of ultra-high-performance single-stage filters. The series is characterized by its small footprint and robust construction. Variants in the series differ primarily by capacitance values (e.g., .47 nF, 4.7 nF) and current ratings, allowing engineers to tailor noise suppression characteristics while maintaining consistent mechanical and interface specifications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the RP186 series include RP186-6-.47-QD for increased capacitance. For identical specifications, verify availability of RP186-6-0-QD from authorized distributors. Cross-series replacements require careful evaluation of insertion loss curves and mechanical fit.
