Packard PMJ108 Start Capacitor
The Packard PMJ108 Start Capacitor is a professional-grade component designed for intermittent duty in AC motor starting circuits. This dry, electrolytic, non-polarized capacitor provides the necessary high-torque boost for motors and compressors to reach operational speeds efficiently. Featuring a 108-130 MFD capacitance and 125V rating (compatible with 110-125VAC systems), it is housed in a rugged, moisture and oil-resistant phenolic resin case. With a temperature operating range from -40°C to 65°C and a rated 3-second start cycle, this round start capacitor meets EIA Standard RS-463 type 2 requirements. Ideal for HVAC units, pool pumps, and air compressors, the unit includes standard 1/4 inch dual blade terminals for quick integration. For technicians performing field service, this is a direct cross-reference for industry numbers 11010, Supco CS108-130X110, Mars 11910, and NTE MSC125V108. The 1-7/16 inch diameter and 2-3/4 inch height ensure a standard fit in existing motor capacitor cans.
Key Benefits for Technicians:- Universal Compatibility: Replaces common industry parts including 108-130 uF 125V configurations from Supco, Mars, and NTE.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: The molded phenolic case resists humidity and oil, preventing premature failure in demanding environments.
- High-Frequency Reliability: Rated for up to 20 starts per hour, making it suitable for cycling equipment.
- Strict Standards Compliance: UL recognized and cUL approved to meet professional safety and performance benchmarks.
- Can I use this to replace a 108-130 MFD capacitor with a higher voltage? No, you should never undersize the voltage rating. This 125V unit is designed specifically for 110V to 125V applications.
- What does the 3-second start rating mean? This indicates the maximum duration the capacitor should be energized during the motor's starting phase to prevent internal overheating.
- Will this fit in a standard size 1 can? Yes, with a 1.4375-inch diameter and 2.75-inch height, it matches standard Case Size 1 dimensions.
