Description
A 60B2D120340NCAC start capacitor—sold under various NGM‑style or OEM‑replacement labels—is a high‑capacity 340–408 microfarad, 110–125 volt AC motor‑start capacitor designed for short‑duration, high‑torque startup on single‑phase motors. Capacitors in this rating class are commonly used in compressors, HVAC units, pumps, and other heavy‑duty induction motors, where a strong initial surge is required to overcome load inertia. According to product listings for comparable 340–408 µF, 110–125 V start capacitors, these units typically feature a round phenolic or plastic case, dual blade terminals, and are built for intermittent‑duty start circuits in 50/60 Hz applications. They are engineered to meet or exceed industry standards for moisture resistance, heat tolerance, and reliability during repeated motor starts.
Features
- Dry, electrolytic, non‑polarized design for intermittent‑duty AC motor starting circuits
- Round phenolic or plastic case that is moisture‑ and oil‑resistant for durability in harsh environments
- Standard dual blade terminals for easy replacement and secure electrical connection
- Rated for 3‑second start cycles, typically up to 20 starts per hour depending on brand
- Operating temperature range: −40°C to +65°C (−40°F to +149°F) for reliable performance in extreme conditions
- 50/60 Hz compatible, suitable for most North American single‑phase motors
- UL / cUL recognized on many equivalent models for safety and compliance
- Hermetically sealed Bakelite/phenolic case on some brands for protection from dirt, grease, and moisture
- “60B” series → usually indicates a phenolic/Bakelite hard‑shell case
