Rectorseal M12161 Dual Run Capacitor 60/12.5 Mfd 440V

Product Description

The RECTORSEAL M12161 is a dual run capacitor rated at 60/12.5 microfarads (MFD) and 440 volts, designed for use in single-phase HVAC compressor and fan motor circuits. Dual run capacitors serve two motor loads simultaneously — typically the compressor and the condenser fan — from a single cylindrical housing. The round form factor and 440V rating make this unit a common replacement choice in residential and light commercial condensing units. Licensed HVAC technicians handle installation as part of routine seasonal servicing or component-level repairs on refrigeration and air conditioning equipment.

This capacitor is suited for split-system air conditioners and heat pumps where the original equipment calls for a round dual run capacitor with a 60/12.5 MFD rating at 440 volts. The round housing measures 2.5 inches in diameter and 5.25 inches in height, fitting standard capacitor brackets in most outdoor condensing units. Verify the MFD ratings, voltage rating, and physical dimensions against the failed unit before installation.

Key Features

• Dual run capacitor supports both compressor and condenser fan motor from a single unit
• 60/12.5 MFD dual rating for split-system HVAC applications
• 440V rating provides compatibility across common residential and light commercial condensing units
• Round form factor fits standard capacitor mounting brackets
• Compact dimensions: 2.5 inches diameter by 5.25 inches height

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement dual run capacitor for single-phase residential and light commercial air conditioning and heat pump condensing units requiring a round 60/12.5 MFD 440V capacitor.

Installation Notes

Dual run capacitors are installed by licensed HVAC technicians. Disconnect and lock out all power to the condensing unit before beginning work — capacitors store a dangerous electrical charge and must be safely discharged before handling. Use an insulated discharge tool rated for the stored voltage prior to removal. Follow NEC guidelines for low-voltage and high-voltage disconnect procedures when servicing condensing unit electrical components.
