Illinois Capacitor, Inc. has added the QPC line of motor start capacitors that are quicker to install and offer durability and reliability. Standard values are from 0.4 to 10µF; 250 to 450 Vac, 50/60Hz. The operating temperature range is from -25 to +85 degrees C. These capacitors include an exclusive locking push-wire contacts that speed installation and eliminate the need to solder

In addition, the multiple contact option eliminates the need for terminal strips and supports fast installation with slide-lock mounting brackets. They are packaged in a rugged, flame-retardant (UL94V-O) case and meet UL810, IEC 566-1982, CNS4327, JIS C4908 requirements. They are designed for continuous use in motor run applications and for power factor correction.

QPC Series Motor Run Capacitors can save significant installation time when compared to conventionally leaded or terminated devices. As shown below, just press an 18-20 gauge wire into one of the sockets and it becomes locked in place. If you need to make a change, slide the tip of a probe or a pin into the adjacent operating hole and the wire can be removed. The metal mounting bracket also speeds assembly, as it can be mounted first. Just slide the capacitor onto the bracket and it locks in place.
