Mars 12743 – Jard by Mars 35 MFD, 440V Round Motor Run Capacitor
The Mars 12743 is a single-value motor run capacitor with a capacitance of 35 microfarads (MFD) and a voltage rating of 440 VAC. Designed for continuous-duty operation in HVAC applications, this capacitor supports permanent split capacitor (PSC) motors, including fan motors, blowers, and compressors found in air conditioning and ventilation systems.
Manufactured with metallized polypropylene film and encased in a round aluminum shell, the unit is hermetically sealed and features a pressure-sensitive interrupter for safety. The non-PCB construction ensures compliance with environmental and industry safety standards.
