RP187-3-1-W

Overview

The Astrodyne TDI RP187-3-1-W is a single-phase, dual-stage power line filter designed for high-performance electromagnetic interference suppression. It features an IEC 320-C14 inlet connector and wire lead terminations. The unit is rated for 3 A current and 250 VAC voltage at 50/60 Hz operating frequencies. With a capacitance of 1 nF, it provides effective noise filtering while maintaining low leakage characteristics suitable for sensitive electronic equipment.

Feature Summary

• Dual-stage filtering architecture for enhanced noise attenuation
• Integrated IEC 320-C14 inlet connector for standardized mating
• Wire lead termination style for flexible circuit integration

Applications

• Medical equipment power conditioning
• Industrial control systems
• Telecommunications infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'W' corresponds to the required wire lead configuration and length during procurement. Confirm that the 3A rating aligns with the maximum load requirements of the target application. Ensure compatibility with the 250VAC system voltage. Check for any specific regulatory certifications required by the end-use region, such as UL or CE marks, which may vary by manufacturing batch.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, dual-stage solution is needed for single-phase AC lines up to 3 Amperes. The integrated C14 inlet simplifies assembly compared to separate filter and inlet combinations. Consider the wire lead termination method if panel mounting via screw terminals is not preferred. This model is suitable for applications requiring moderate insertion loss and low leakage current in space-constrained enclosures.

Part Context

This component belongs to the RP187 series of power line filters from Astrodyne TDI. The series is characterized by high-performance EMC/EMI suppression capabilities. These filters are engineered to meet stringent international standards for electromagnetic compatibility, ensuring reliable operation in environments with significant electrical noise.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 3A current rating, 250VAC voltage, and C14 inlet interface. Verify that alternative models offer comparable dual-stage attenuation performance. Ensure the replacement supports wire lead termination or adapt accordingly. Cross-reference part numbers within the RP187 family for similar specifications.
