RP230-3.5-10-QD

Overview

The Astrodyne TDI RP230-3.5-10-QD is a high-performance dual-stage power line filter designed for AC applications. It features a rated voltage of 250 VAC and a current rating of 3.5 A. The unit utilizes quick disconnect (QD) tabs for termination and supports chassis mounting. It operates within a temperature range of -25°C to +100°C and complies with UL, CSA, and EN standards.

Feature Summary

• Dual-stage EMI filtering architecture
• Quick disconnect terminal connections
• Chassis mount installation style

Applications

• Medical equipment power supplies
• Industrial control systems
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'QD' confirms quick disconnect terminals rather than wire or stud options. Confirm compliance requirements such as UL and EN match the target market regulations. Ensure the 3.5A current rating and 250VAC voltage are sufficient for the intended load. Check datasheet for leakage current limits if safety isolation is critical.

Selection Notes

Select this model when dual-stage attenuation is required in a compact form factor. The QD termination simplifies assembly compared to soldered or screwed connections. Consider the operating temperature range of -25°C to +100°C for environmental suitability. Compare against single-stage filters if space constraints allow for higher performance alternatives.

Part Context

This component belongs to the RP230 series of high-performance dual-stage power line filters from Astrodyne TDI. The series offers various current ratings including 3.5A, 6.5A, 20A, 30A, and 40A. Different termination styles such as QD, W, and S are available across the series to accommodate diverse mounting needs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the RP230 series include RP230-3.5-10-W or RP230-3.5-10-S if termination types differ. Cross-series replacements require matching voltage, current, and attenuation specifications.
