Rectorseal M12296 Dual Run Capacitor 60/10 Mfd 440V

Product Description

The RECTORSEAL M12296 is a dual run capacitor rated at 60/10 microfarads (MFD) and 440 volts, designed for use in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Dual run capacitors serve two motor circuits simultaneously, supporting both the compressor and the condenser fan motor from a single component. This reduces cabinet space requirements and simplifies wiring compared to using two separate capacitors. The round form factor measures 2.5 inches in diameter and 4.375 inches in height, making it a standard fit for most condensing unit control compartments. HVAC technicians install this part during routine capacitor replacements or as part of a compressor or fan motor service call.

This capacitor is intended for split-system air conditioners and heat pumps where a single dual run capacitor powers both the compressor and the outdoor fan motor. The 440-volt rating provides compatibility across a range of single-phase residential and light commercial condensing units. Its round housing fits standard capacitor brackets and retaining straps found in most outdoor units. This is a common service part stocked by HVAC technicians for seasonal maintenance and emergency replacement calls.

Key Features

• Dual run design supports compressor and condenser fan motor from one capacitor
• 60/10 MFD rating covers standard compressor and fan motor starting and running requirements
• 440-volt rating suitable for single-phase residential and light commercial systems
• Round form factor fits standard outdoor unit capacitor brackets and straps
• Compact dimensions: 2.5 inches diameter by 4.375 inches height

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement dual run capacitor for residential and light commercial split-system air conditioners and heat pumps requiring a 60/10 MFD, 440-volt round capacitor.

Installation Notes

Dual run capacitors must be installed by a qualified HVAC technician. Always disconnect and lock out power to the condensing unit before servicing capacitors, and discharge the existing capacitor fully before handling — capacitors can retain a dangerous charge even after power is removed. Match the MFD ratings and voltage rating of the replacement exactly to the original component. Follow applicable local electrical codes and the unit manufacturer's service instructions during installation.
