Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

  • Packard PMJ233
  • Supco CS233-280X110
  • Interchangeable with other capacitors matching the same MFD and VAC ratings.

Compatibility & Fitment

  • Universal fit for single-phase AC electric motors requiring a start capacitor with matching specifications.
  • Used in HVAC units, air conditioners, heat pumps, refrigeration compressors, and other motor-driven equipment.
  • Fitment is determined by matching the capacitance (MFD/uF), voltage (VAC), and physical dimensions of the original part.

When to Replace

  • Motor hums but fails to start or struggles to turn over.
  • Slow or delayed motor startup.
  • Circuit breaker trips when the motor attempts to start.
  • Visible signs of failure on the original capacitor, such as swelling, bulging, or fluid leakage.

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect all electrical power to the equipment before beginning service.
  • Safely discharge the existing capacitor by shorting the terminals with a properly insulated tool.
  • Confirm the MFD and VAC ratings of the new capacitor match the component being replaced.
  • Ensure terminals are clean and connections are secure.

FAQ

This capacitor is designed for intermittent duty in AC motor starting circuits. It is commonly used in HVAC systems, air compressors, pool pump motors, and various industrial electric motor applications requiring a 233-280 uF rating at 110-125 VAC.
This unit serves as a direct replacement for numerous industry-standard part numbers, including Aerovox, Dayton 4X064A, MARS 11018, JARD 11918, Global 1018, Packard PMJ233, NTE MSC125V233, Supco CS233-280X110, and BMI 092A233B125AC1A.
If your motor hums but fails to reach full speed, trips the thermal overload, or simply refuses to start, the start capacitor is often the culprit. A physically damaged capacitor—such as one with a bulging top, leaking electrolyte, or a burnt smell—should be replaced immediately.
Yes. As long as the microfarad (uF/MFD) rating of 233-280 and the voltage rating of 110-125 VAC match your original part, this capacitor will function correctly regardless of the manufacturer name printed on the housing.
Before installation, ensure the power supply to the motor is completely disconnected. Because capacitors store an electrical charge, you must safely discharge the old capacitor using a resistor or an insulated screwdriver across the terminals before handling it. Additionally, inspect the motor's centrifugal switch; if the switch is stuck or faulty, it can cause a new capacitor to fail prematurely.
This is a dry, electrolytic, non-polarized capacitor intended for intermittent duty only. It is designed to provide the high torque necessary to start a motor and should be disconnected from the circuit once the motor reaches approximately 75% of its rated speed.
