Item number SNUB0000
The R-C Snubber is intended to suppress the “inductive kick” from motors, solenoids or relay coils. High energy noise spikes are generated whenever current is interrupted through an inductive load. These noise spikes may interfere with associated equipment causing erratic operation and may also accelerate relay contact wear. Applied across an inductive load, the R-C snubber suppresses the noise spikes and extends contact life.
The R-C Snubber is designed to suppress the "inductive kick" generated by inductive loads such as motors, solenoids, or relay coils. Its main purpose is to prevent high energy noise spikes.
High energy noise spikes, often referred to as "inductive kick," can interfere with associated equipment, leading to erratic operation. They also accelerate the wear and tear on relay contacts, shortening their lifespan.
By suppressing the high energy noise spikes generated by inductive loads, the R-C Snubber reduces the electrical stress on relay contacts. This reduction in stress directly contributes to extending the operational life of the contacts.
The R-C Snubber should be applied directly across the inductive load it is intended to protect. This placement ensures it effectively suppresses noise spikes from components like motors, solenoids, or relay coils.
