Mars 12732 – Jard 10 MFD 440V Round Motor Run Capacitor
The Mars 12732 (Jard) motor run capacitor is a 10 microfarad (MFD), 440-volt AC-rated component designed for continuous-duty operation in single-phase HVAC equipment. Suitable for air conditioning units, compressors, and fan motors, this capacitor provides reliable electrical phase shift necessary for proper PSC motor performance.
Constructed with metallized polypropylene film and enclosed in an aluminum case, the 12732 includes an internal pressure interrupter for safety under fault conditions. The capacitor is non-PCB and meets UL 810 standards for motor-run capacitors.

Installation Considerations:
Ensure the circuit is de-energized and capacitor is properly discharged prior to handling.
Verify microfarad and voltage ratings match OEM specifications.
Secure capacitor with bracket or strap to minimize vibration.
Terminal markings should be followed (typically “C,” “FAN,” or equivalent) during reconnection.
Installation should be completed by qualified personnel in accordance with local and national codes.
This capacitor is engineered to maintain consistent performance in demanding HVAC service environments. It is suitable for field replacement or OEM maintenance where a 10 µF, 440V run capacitor is specified.
