Motor Run & Start Capacitors (CBB60, CBB65, CBB61, and MKP-X2 film capacitors)

Description

Keep motors, fans, pumps, and compressors running smoothly with this range of AC motor capacitors and film capacitors. These capacitors help single-phase motors start and run, and they are used in air conditioners, refrigeration compressors, water pumps, ceiling and exhaust fans, washing machines, garage door openers, and many other machines. They are an essential replacement part for electricians, HVAC and refrigeration technicians, appliance repairers, and maintenance teams.

The photo shows several types in the range, and the printed labels on each give the key details:

• CBB60 (white plastic cylinder, flat terminals and a mounting stud): Shown in 20 µF and 35 µF versions, marked ±5%, 450 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Flat terminals on top make connection easy, and a threaded stud at the base lets you fix the capacitor firmly to a bracket or panel.
• CBB60 (aluminium can, wire leads): Shown in a 40 µF version, marked ±5%, 450 VAC, 50/60 Hz, with two insulated wire leads.
• CBB65 (oval aluminium can, four terminals): Shown in a 50 µF version, marked ±5%, 450 VAC, 50/60 Hz. The metal can helps with heat dissipation, and the label includes safety marks and EN 60252-1.
• CBB61 (black rectangular box, wire leads): Shown in a 2.5 µF version, marked 450 VAC, 50/60 Hz. This compact type with red wire leads is widely used in ceiling fans and small motors.
• MKP-X2 (grey box, pin leads): Shown at 1.0 µF, K310VAC. This film capacitor has pins for mounting on a circuit board, and it is typically used for interference suppression and filtering in electronics and power supplies.

Several of the capacitors carry the CE mark, and the MKP-X2 also shows an additional safety mark. The labels also show a climate category (such as 25/70/21 or 40/70/21).
