10 Pack 460-552 uF 110-125V AC Motor Start Capacitor - Durable OEM

In this review of the 10 Pack TEMCo 460-552 uF motor start capacitor, the bottom line is simple: this kit is for technicians and DIYers who need a reliable, OEM-style replacement for single phase motors and compressors. The most compelling reason to buy is consistency - each capacitor is PCB-free, UL rated and housed in a rugged phenolic resin case, which makes these units a dependable swap-in for HVAC, pump and compressor start circuits where a compact, oil-filled capacitor is required.

Key Features

• Capacitance range: 460-552 uF provides the torque boost needed for most single phase motor starting applications, making replacements straightforward.
• Voltage rating: 110-125 VAC support covers common residential and light commercial supply voltages for broad compatibility.
• Temperature tolerance: Rated -40 C to +65 C so the units tolerate a wide range of operating climates without premature failure.
• Construction: Electrolytic oil filled inside a rugged phenolic resin case gives mechanical protection and stable performance in tough environments.
• Terminals and form factor: 1/4' quick disconnect terminals and a round 1.81 in diameter with 3.37 in height make these capacitors easy to fit into common motor housings.
• Safety and warranty: PCB-free, UL rated E492933 and backed by a 5 year warranty provide reassurance for long-term use and replacement projects.

Who It's For

This 10 pack is aimed at service shops, maintenance crews, and homeowners who repair multiple appliances or machines, such as HVAC units, compressors and pumps. If you replace capacitors regularly or maintain a fleet of equipment, buying a matched set reduces downtime and ensures consistent parts on hand.

Those who should look elsewhere include people who need a single bespoke capacitor with a different size, capacitance outside the 460-552 uF range, or specialized terminals. Also consider a different form factor if your enclosure cannot accommodate the 1.81 in diameter and 3.37 in height.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Reliable construction with an electrolytic oil fill and a rugged phenolic resin case for lasting performance.
• UL rated and PCB-free for safer replacement in residential and light commercial equipment.
• Quick disconnect terminals and common size make installation fast and predictable for most single phase motors.
• Good value in a 10 pack for technicians who need multiple replacements at once.

Cons

• Size receives mixed feedback - some users expected a different physical size, so confirm dimensions before ordering.
• Not suitable if your application requires a different capacitance range or non-standard terminal type.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can these capacitors work on both 50 Hz and 60 Hz systems?
Yes, they are specified for 50/60 Hz operation and are suitable for either frequency.

Are these units safe for household appliance replacement?
They are PCB-free and UL rated E492933, making them appropriate for residential appliance and light commercial motor replacements when they match the required specs.

Will the 1.81 in diameter fit standard motor housings?
Many common motors and compressors accept this round size, but measure the available space to ensure the 1.81 in by 3.37 in dimensions will fit before installation.
