"Snubbers"  RC Network is an electronic component designed to prevent or substantially minimize the occurrence of arcing and line noise generation in relay and switch contacts. Thus extending the life of the circuit devices, such as relays, controllers & indicators. RC Networks consist of specially designed capacitors and resistors connected in series. Spark discharges and induced noise are absorbed over a wide range, while the RC time constant delays and averages surge voltage and oscillations.  RC Snubber featured is less than 1.5" Wide.

RC Networks must have the capacity to store surge voltages and current energy and afford protection against inductively induced potentials. The dielectric material of capacitors, used in RC Networks, affords a very high degree of voltage withstand strength. All resistors are non-inductive types to insure a high degree of protection against pulse potentials. To provide additional protection for equipment and users, especially when these components are used in their applications, all RC Networks are packaged in cases which meet or exceed the flammability requirements of UL94VO.

Applications :  (See Example Diagrams Below )

• Protection for contacts and from noise during switching operations of equipment such as  tool machine equipment, packaging machinery, etc.
• Protection of electronic instruments during operation of relays, solenoids, motors, etc.
• Electrical noise protection of semiconductor devices during control of triacs, thyristors, motors, welders, illumination equipment, etc
