AP APPLI PARTS Motor Start Capacitor 216–259 µF 330 VAC — CD60, UL‑Certified, 1/4" Quick‑Connect

AP APPLI PARTS CON-216-330 is a CD60 single‑phase motor start capacitor rated 216–259 µF at 330 VAC, built for short‑duration starting torque in motors and common appliance applications.

This motor start capacitor is designed as a universal replacement for systems that call for 216–259 microfarads at 330 volts AC. It’s a CD60, electrolytic, non‑polarized, intermittent‑duty component with UL certification (E479187) and PCB‑free construction. With a compact footprint of 1.75 inches wide and 3.38 inches tall and a 1/4‑inch male quick‑connect terminal, it fits many pumps, compressors, saws and other single‑phase motors — provided the physical dimensions and electrical ratings match the unit you’re replacing.

How do I confirm this capacitor fits my motor?

Start by matching the capacitance range, voltage rating and terminal type printed on your existing capacitor. Then verify the dimensions and duty type: this model is intermittent‑duty for motor starting and uses a 1/4‑inch male quick‑connect.

• Capacitance: 216–259 µF (nominal 216–330 listed series)
• Voltage: 330 VAC working rating
• Terminals: 1/4‑inch male quick‑connect
• Size: 1.75 in wide × 3.38 in height
• Duty: CD60 intermittent motor start type

What safety and quality features does it include?

The CON‑216‑330 is UL certified (E479187) and manufactured without PCBs, reducing environmental and safety concerns. As a CD60 electrolytic start capacitor, it’s engineered for short bursts of high capacitance to provide motor starting torque without continuous duty stresses.

• UL certification ensures tested manufacturing standards
• PCB‑free construction for safer disposal and use
• Electrolytic, non‑polarized design simplifies installation
• Tolerance ±20% and wide temperature range (‑40°F to +149°F)

Which applications are appropriate for this start capacitor?

This capacitor is intended for single‑phase motor start circuits where a burst of high torque is required at startup. Typical uses include water and pool pumps, compressors, table saw motors and similar tools — always cross‑check physical size and electrical specs before replacing an existing part.

• Water pumps and pool pumps (motor start circuits)
• Air compressors and HVAC blower motors
• Table saws, shop tools, and similar power equipment
• General single‑phase motors requiring a start capacitor

How does installation and maintenance look for this part?

Installation requires disconnecting power, discharging the old capacitor, and using the 1/4‑inch quick‑connect terminal for a fast swap. Because start capacitors are intermittent‑duty items, periodic checks for bulging, leakage or loss of starting performance are recommended.

• Always power down and discharge capacitors before handling
• Use matching quick‑connects for secure electrical connection
• Inspect for physical damage or electrolyte leakage before reuse
• Replace if starting torque drops or visual defects appear

Who is this for: technicians, maintenance pros, and DIY homeowners needing a reliable, compact motor start capacitor for single‑phase motors and appliance repairs. If your equipment calls for a 216–259 µF start capacitor at 330 VAC with a 1/4‑inch male quick‑connect and a CD60 intermittent duty rating, the AP APPLI PARTS CON‑216‑330 is a ready, UL‑certified replacement — just verify dimensions and specs match your device before installation.
