Mars 12784 – Jard by Mars 35/7.5 MFD, 440V Dual Section Round Run Capacitor
The Mars 12784 is a dual-value motor run capacitor designed to support both compressor and fan motor windings in HVAC systems using permanent split capacitor (PSC) motors. It provides 35 and 7.5 microfarads (MFD) of capacitance and is rated for continuous operation at up to 440 volts AC.
This capacitor features a metallized polypropylene film dielectric, enclosed in a round aluminum canister with a hermetically sealed, oil-filled design. An internal pressure-sensitive interrupter is included for safety. The non-PCB construction complies with UL and RoHS standards for environmental and operational safety.
