Ducati Motor Run Film Capacitor, 18 µF, 450 V, 4.16.10 Series

The Ducati 4.16.10 series motor run capacitor is a high-quality, general-purpose component engineered for reliability and long-term performance in demanding electrical applications. Constructed from a metalised polypropylene film, this capacitor uses the polypropylene as a robust dielectric, with electrodes formed from an ultra-thin metal coating applied via vacuum evaporation. This advanced construction results in a component with superior electrical characteristics, including low losses and a non-inductive winding.

A key benefit of this design is its self-healing property. This feature allows the capacitor to recover from minor dielectric breakdowns autonomously, effectively avoiding permanent short circuits and significantly enhancing its operational lifespan and safety. The capacitive element is securely sealed with polyurethane resin, and the outer case and cover are manufactured from self-extinguishing plastic material, providing an additional layer of protection and durability.

This specific model offers a precise capacitance of 18 µF with a tight ±5% tolerance and is rated for a voltage of 450 V AC. It is characterised by its compact dimensions and low weight, making it an excellent choice for applications where space is at a premium. The wire-leaded terminals ensure straightforward and secure installation into a wide variety of circuits.

With an endurance rating ranging from 1000 to 10,000 hours and a wide operating temperature range, this capacitor is built to deliver consistent performance in challenging environments. Its construction minimises the risk of leakage, ensuring stable operation and contributing to the overall efficiency and reliability of the system it supports.
