The Mars 12942 is a dual run capacitor rated 85/7.5 MFD at 440V AC. It is made for continuous-duty use in permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor circuits in HVAC systems. One round unit supports a compressor circuit and a fan motor circuit at the same time.
It has a round aluminum canister with metallized polypropylene film construction. It is built for long-duty cycle and continuous-run applications.
It is an OEM-style replacement for residential and light commercial HVAC systems that use PSC motors needing an 85/7.5 MFD, 440V AC dual capacitor. Examples include air conditioning condensers, heat pumps, and ventilation units. Installation should be done by a licensed HVAC technician. Before installing, check that the MFD ratings, voltage rating, and physical dimensions match the original capacitor.
