Mars 12759 – Jard by Mars 80 MFD, 440V Round Motor Run Capacitor
The Mars 12759 is a single-value motor run capacitor with a capacitance rating of 80 microfarads (MFD) and a voltage rating of 440 VAC. Designed for continuous-duty operation, it supports permanent split capacitor (PSC) motors used in HVAC systems, including compressors and fan motors in air conditioning equipment.
This capacitor is constructed with a metallized polypropylene dielectric enclosed in a round aluminum case. It features a built-in pressure-sensitive interrupter for internal fault protection and is manufactured without PCBs. The unit meets UL and RoHS compliance requirements and is designed for long service life in high-temperature environments.
