Rectorseal m12260 Dual Run Capacitor 20/5 Mfd 370V Round

Product Description

The RECTORSEAL m12260 is a dual run capacitor rated at 20/5 microfarads (MFD) and 370 volts, designed to support the simultaneous starting and running of compressor and fan motor circuits in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Built with an aluminum composition and housed in a round form factor, this capacitor maintains stable capacitance across a wide temperature range from -40 degrees F to 158 degrees F. It is rated for 60,000 hours of operational life and is compatible with both 50 Hz and 60 Hz systems. HVAC technicians install this unit as a direct replacement during routine service calls or after a failed capacitor diagnosis.

The m12260 is suited for residential and commercial air conditioning and refrigeration applications where a single round dual run capacitor handles both the compressor and condenser fan motor. Its 370-volt rating makes it appropriate for standard single-phase motor circuits found in split systems, package units, and refrigeration condensing units. The round profile fits standard capacitor brackets and mounting straps commonly found in outdoor condenser cabinets.

Compatibility

Designed for use in residential and commercial AC and refrigeration systems requiring a round dual run capacitor rated at 20/5 MFD and 370 volts.

Installation Notes

Dual run capacitors are installed by licensed HVAC technicians. Disconnect and lock out all power to the unit before handling capacitors, as they can retain a dangerous charge even after power is removed. Discharge the capacitor safely using an approved resistor tool before disconnecting terminals. Follow local electrical codes and manufacturer wiring diagrams when connecting terminals to the compressor, fan motor, and common lugs.
