Capacitors

Category Overview

A capacitor is an electrical component that plays a critical role in the operation of air conditioner outdoor units, combi boiler circulation pumps, fans, dishwashers and washing machines and single-phase electric motors. It provides the initial starting torque of the motor or, in run capacitor applications, guarantees smooth rotation of the motor by continuously storing energy. A faulty capacitor or one whose capacitance (µF) value has dropped leads to problems such as the appliance not running, starting and stopping immediately, overheating, tripping the fuse or loss of efficiency. In this category, Yedepa.com offers capacitor types in different µF values, with 400V and 450V operating voltages, plastic and metal bodies, single or dual outputs, all in one place for technicians, technical service companies and end users.

Products You Can Find in This Category

In your search for spare parts, you can find a wide variety of capacitor models depending on the appliance in which you will use them. The product types frequently chosen in this category are:

• 3 µF and 5 µF Run Capacitors — Plastic body, 4 terminals, 400V; especially for extractor fans, cooker hoods and small fan motors.
• 450V 2.5 µF Combi Boiler Circulation Pump Capacitor — With its plastic body, suitable for direct replacement in combi boiler pumps.
• 35 µF 450 VAC Capacitors — Standard value for air conditioner outdoor unit compressor and fan motor applications.
• 55+5 µF Dual Air Conditioner Capacitor — Metal body, 450 VAC, 50/60 Hz; for split air conditioners that feed the compressor and fan from a single body.
• Other µF values for washing machine, dishwasher and motor-driven household appliance applications.

Selection Criteria and Tips

To choose the right capacitor, three basic values must be checked: capacitance (µF / microfarad), operating voltage (V) and body type. The µF value of the new part must be the same as the old one; take care not to go outside a ±5% tolerance. The voltage value can be chosen the same or higher (for example 450V can be used instead of 400V, but not the other way round). Dual capacitors have two separate values such as "55+5 µF"; one is for the compressor, the other for the fan motor, and they must not be mixed up. For the connection type, 4-terminal (faston) models are standard in most applications. Before removal, always disconnect the power and discharge the capacitor with an insulated tool; this is necessary both for safety and for correct measurement.

Capacitors at Yedepa.com

At Yedepa.com, we gather on a single page the capacitor types needed daily by HVAC and household appliance technical service companies, with original and equivalent options. By clearly stating critical information such as µF, voltage and body type in the product titles, we minimise the risk of incorrect orders. You can easily compare a wide range of in-stock products, from air conditioner dual capacitors to combi boiler pump capacitors and from run capacitor models to high-µF motor capacitors, and order the model you need with confidence. When you are unsure about unknown values or compatibility, the Yedepa.com customer support team will help you find the right part using the appliance brand-model information.
