Start capacitors are in the circuit only during motor startup and disengage once the motor reaches operating speed. This unit measures 1.8125 inches in diameter and 3.375 inches in height, with 0.25-inch male quick-connect terminals. It is rated for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz applications. HVAC technicians and refrigeration service pros are the primary installers of this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe TSMJ233 is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC systems where a single-phase compressor, condenser fan motor, or blower motor requires start-assist. It is a common replacement part in air conditioning, heat pump, and refrigeration units where the OEM start capacitor has failed or degraded. Its compact cylindrical form factor fits standard capacitor mounting brackets without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e233-280 MFD capacitance range suits a variety of single-phase motor start applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e165 VAC rating matches common low-voltage start capacitor circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with 50 Hz and 60 Hz power systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.25-inch male quick-connect terminals for straightforward wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact cylindrical body: 1.8125 inches diameter x 3.375 inches height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement start capacitor for single-phase motors in residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration systems requiring a 233-280 MFD, 165 VAC start capacitor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or electrician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the unit before handling any capacitor, as start capacitors can retain a charge even after power is removed — discharge the capacitor safely before touching terminals. Verify that the replacement MFD range and voltage rating meet or exceed the original equipment specification before installing. Secure the capacitor in an approved mounting bracket and ensure terminal connections are fully seated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacitance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 233-280 MFD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 165 VAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50\/60 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.8125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25-inch male quick-connect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PACKARD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: TSMJ233\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PACKARD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524330946866,"sku":"TSMJ233","price":24.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/50a9c65b2cfb1d58b76ce927534bc5b3.png?v=1785446199","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/packard-tsmj233-motor-start-capacitor-233-280-mfd-165v","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
