10 µF Start Capacitor
A 10 µF motor start/run capacitor rated for 450V at 50/60Hz, used across a range of espresso machine and pump motors. Four-terminal design for flexible wiring.
SPECIFICATIONS
- 10 µF, 450V, 50/60Hz
- Four voltage terminals
- Lead connector: 6.35 x 0.8 mm
- Dimensions: 36 mm diameter x 58 mm length
- Operating temperature: -25°C to +85°C
- Compliant with EEC 93/68 and 92/31
COMPATIBILITY
- Fits: motors and pumps specifying a 10 µF, 450V start/run capacitor with 6.35mm spade terminals
INSTALLATION
A moderate DIY task for anyone comfortable working around mains voltage — confirm power is disconnected and the old capacitor is discharged before handling.
PRO TIPS
- Always discharge a capacitor before touching its terminals, even after unplugging the machine — a start capacitor can hold a genuinely unpleasant shock long after power is cut.
- Match the µF rating exactly; don't substitute a higher or lower microfarad value even if the physical size and terminals match, or you'll get a motor that struggles to start or runs hot.
