CD60 Motor Starting Capacitor 270-324uF 330V AC Snap-In

The CD60 Motor Starting Capacitor is a high-capacitance electrolytic capacitor designed to deliver the massive starting torque required by heavy-duty single-phase AC motors. With a large capacitance range of 270–324 µF (MFD) and a robust 330V AC rating at 50/60 Hz, this capacitor provides the reliable energy surge needed to start large motors quickly and efficiently, preventing overheating and premature failure.

Engineered for durability, the capacitor features a rugged phenolic resin case that resists shock, vibration, and harsh operating environments. The integrated snap-in mounting terminals allow for quick, secure installation without the need for additional brackets or hardware, making it an ideal replacement part for a wide range of large appliances and industrial equipment.
