Mars 12216 Motor Run Capacitor 80+7.5 Uf 370/440 Vac Round 2.5 Inches Dia 5.25 Inches H

Product Description

The MARS 12216 is a dual-section motor run capacitor designed for use in HVAC systems, including central air conditioners, heat pumps, and commercial refrigeration equipment. It carries an 80+7.5 uF (microfarad) rating and is rated for 370/440 VAC operation, making it compatible with a wide range of residential and light commercial HVAC units. The round canister measures 2.5 inches in diameter and 5.25 inches in height, fitting standard capacitor mounting brackets found on most air handler and condensing unit applications.

Motor run capacitors serve a critical function in HVAC systems. They provide a continuous phase shift to keep single-phase motors running smoothly and efficiently. A dual-section capacitor like the MARS 12216 supports two motors in one unit, typically the compressor and the condenser fan motor. This eliminates the need for two separate capacitors and simplifies service calls. HVAC technicians rely on dual-run capacitors to reduce parts count and speed up replacement time in the field.

The MARS Blue Box line is a well-known standard in the HVAC parts industry. These capacitors are built for long service life and stable capacitance under thermal and voltage stress. The 370/440 VAC dual voltage rating means the same capacitor works across both 370-volt and 440-volt systems, reducing the number of SKUs a technician needs to carry in their service van. Frequency compatibility covers both 50 Hz and 60 Hz systems, supporting use in domestic and international equipment. This unit is a direct replacement for many OEM capacitors and is widely stocked by HVAC distributors and parts suppliers.

• Dual-section 80+7.5 uF rating supports both compressor and condenser fan motor in one unit
• Dual voltage rating of 370/440 VAC provides broad compatibility across residential and commercial HVAC equipment
• Round canister design at 2.5 inches diameter fits standard capacitor mounting hardware

Product Highlights

The MARS 12216 dual-run capacitor delivers reliable motor support for compressor and fan motor circuits in a single round unit rated for 370/440 VAC and 80+7.5 uF. Its dual voltage and dual frequency ratings make it a versatile replacement option for HVAC service technicians.
