Universal Electric Fan Capacitor 1.5µF 450V AC for Household Fans

If your household fan runs slowly, struggles to start, or fails to spin altogether, the capacitor may be at fault. This universal electric fan capacitor provides a straightforward replacement part to restore normal fan operation. With a capacitance value of 1.5µF and a rated voltage of 450V AC, it is designed to match the specifications of many common fan motors. Its compact size and lightweight alloy construction make installation simple, whether you are replacing an old part or repairing a second-hand unit. The capacitor uses polypropylene film dielectric material housed in a PBD flame-retardant plastic shell for consistent electrical performance and safety.

Features and Construction

This capacitor is built with specific electrical ratings and a robust physical design to suit household fan applications. Every component is selected for stable operation under standard conditions.

Material and Build

The capacitor uses a polypropylene film dielectric, which provides stable capacitance over time. The external shell is made from PBD flame-retardant plastic, reducing the risk of fire in the event of a fault. The internal construction uses an alloy base, and the unit is sealed to prevent moisture ingress within its operating range.

Size and Practical Fit

Measuring just 0.60mm x 0.33mm and weighing 10g, this capacitor is small enough to fit into tight fan housings. It uses base and terminal post installation, so you can connect it directly to your fan's wiring. The compact shape ensures you can place it without major modifications.

Uses and Placement

This capacitor is designed primarily for household electric fans, but it can also suit other small AC motors that require a 1.5µF run capacitor.

Event or Professional Use

For maintenance technicians or repair shops, this capacitor provides a reliable replacement part for servicing a range of fans. The clear voltage rating and tolerance information help ensure compatibility with different motor types.

Everyday Home Use

If your ceiling fan, pedestal fan, or desk fan has lost its starting torque or runs erratically, this capacitor offers a practical fix. Its universal design means it can replace many original parts without needing specialist tools.

Benefits and Buying Value

Choosing this capacitor gives you a cost-effective way to extend the life of your fan rather than replacing the entire unit.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

Once installed, this capacitor requires no routine maintenance. Its polypropylene film dielectric and sealed construction help maintain stable capacitance over thousands of hours of operation.

Why Choose This Product

This capacitor offers a direct match for the most common fan capacitor specifications: 1.5µF capacitance, 450V AC rating, and a compact form factor. The flame-retardant shell adds an extra layer of safety in household environments.
