Lennox by Mars® 89M77 Dual Run Capacitor – 40/5 MFD, 440V AC, Round
The Lennox 89M77 is a dual motor run capacitor designed to support both the compressor and condenser fan motor in HVAC systems utilizing permanent split capacitor (PSC) motors. This round-style capacitor delivers 40/5 microfarads (MFD) at 440 volts AC and is built to meet Lennox OEM requirements.
Constructed with metallized polypropylene film dielectric and enclosed in a corrosion-resistant aluminum case, the 89M77 features a pressure-sensitive interrupter for fault protection and standard ¼" male quick-connect terminals for efficient replacement in field service applications.
