Packard PMJ270 Start Capacitor

  • $5.00


When you're out in the field and a compressor is struggling to kick over, you need a high-capacitance solution that can handle the inrush current. The Packard PMJ270 is a heavy-duty, 270-324 MFD 125V Round Start Capacitor specifically designed for intermittent duty in AC motor starting circuits. Built with a moisture and oil-resistant phenolic resin case, this unit is a standard 1-7/16-inch diameter round capacitor that stands up to the rigors of mechanical rooms and rooftop installations. It features a dry, electrolytic, non-polarized design compatible with 50/60Hz systems and is a direct HVAC motor start capacitor replacement for several industry types including the 11019, Supco CS270-324X110, and NTE MSC125V270. With a cycle rate of 20 starts per hour and a 3-second start rating, this Packard start capacitor ensures reliable torque for single-phase motors. For any technician performing HVAC start capacitor troubleshooting, the dual blade terminals allow for a quick, secure connection to get the equipment back in service without delay.

Key Benefits
  • Broad Compatibility: Serves as a drop-in replacement for common industry parts like Supco and generic 11019 models.
  • Durable Construction: The phenolic resin housing prevents oil and moisture intrusion, ensuring long-term structural integrity.
  • Optimized Performance: Specifically rated for 270-324 microfarads to provide the high-torque boost needed for 110-125V motor applications.
  • Compact Form Factor: The standard Size 1 dimensions (1-7/16" D x 2-3/4" H) fit most OEM capacitor clips and mounting brackets.
Common Questions
  • Can I use a 125V start capacitor if my current one is rated for 110V? Yes, the Packard PMJ270 is rated for 110-125VAC, meaning it can safely handle applications within that voltage range.
  • What does the 270-324 MFD range mean? This is the capacitance range; as long as your failed component falls within or close to this MFD rating, this capacitor will provide the necessary phase shift for starting.
  • How do I know this will fit my motor? Check the diameter (1.43") and height (2.75"). This round start capacitor is a standard frame size used across many commercial refrigeration and residential HVAC units.
