(UL Certified) 70+7.5 MFD uf 370 or 440 Volt VAC Round Dual Run Capacitor

(UL Certified) 70+7.5 MFD uf 370 or 440 Volt VAC Round Dual Run Capacitor

Key Features

• Dual capacitance: 70 Microfarad (MFD) for the compressor and 7.5 Microfarad (MFD) for the fan motor.
• Dual voltage rating: Operates at either 370 or 440 Volts AC.
• Terminal type: Standard 1/4 inch male quick-disconnect terminals.
• Operating frequency: 50 / 60 Hz.
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F).
• Safety certifications: UL recognized and CSA approved.
• Reliability standard: Meets EIA-456-A industry specifications for up to 60,000 hours of operational life.

Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

• This is a direct replacement for any round dual run capacitor with matching 70/7.5 MFD and 370V or 440V specifications.
• Replaces part number USA2222A and other capacitors with similar ratings.

Compatibility & Fitment

• Application: Designed for HVAC systems, including central air conditioners and heat pumps, to power the compressor and fan motors.
• Physical dimensions: 2.5 inch diameter x 4.33 inch height. Verify space in your unit before ordering.
• Terminal labels: "C" for Common, "HERM" for the compressor, and "FAN" for the fan motor.

When to Replace

• The outdoor unit's fan is not spinning or requires a manual push to start.
• The compressor makes a humming noise but does not start.
• The AC unit runs but does not blow cold air.
• The existing capacitor shows physical signs of failure, such as bulging, swelling, or leaking fluid.
• Capacitance measurement is outside the rated tolerance (typically +/- 6%) when tested with a multimeter.

Installation Tips

• Disconnect all electrical power to the HVAC unit at the circuit breaker and service panel before servicing.
• Safely discharge the old capacitor by shorting across the terminals with an insulated-handle screwdriver.
• Document or photograph the wire connections to each terminal ("C", "HERM", "FAN") before removal.
• Ensure the MFD ratings (70/7.5) of the new capacitor match the old one exactly. The voltage rating can be equal to or higher than the original.
• Secure the new capacitor with the original mounting bracket and reconnect wires to the corresponding terminals.
