The MSC Series is a range of AC electrolytic capacitors.

These capacitors are most often used to provide the

torque necessary to start AC motors and in other inter-

mittent AC applications.

FEATURES:

• Two .25” Quick Connect terminals

• Round moisture and oil resistant plastic case

• 110VAC to 330VAC

• Quick disconnect terminals

• Recessed terminals

• Long life and high reliability

RATINGS

PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS

Operating Temperature Range: –40

°C to +65°C

Power Factor: 10% Max.; 12%

≤30µF

MOUNTING

Vertical mounting of the capacitor with the terminals

up is recommended. However, horizontal mounting is

acceptable providing the vent is located in the up posi-

tion. Vertical mounting with the terminals down is not

recommended because the capacitor life may be re-

duced and the operation of the pressure relief vent im-

paired.

CLEANING

Solvent residues on the capacitors after cleaning may

penetrate the seal and cause internal corrosion result-

ing in shortened life. Alcohol or water detergent clean-

ing is not usually harmful but halogenated cleaning

solvents are not recommended and should be

avoided.

SAFETY

Because the watt–second value of these capacitors is

high, precautions should be taken during the testing

of these devices.

Discharge resistors should be specified when there is

a possibility of a residual charge left on the capacitor

or to protect contacts. Mis–application, such as ex-

ceeding design limits or applying continuous AC volt-

age, may result in destruction or explosion of capaci-

tors.
