DUCATI Motor Run Capacitor, 10µF, 450V, Wire Leaded, 4.16.17 Series

The DUCATI 4.16.17 Series Motor Run Capacitor is a high-quality, general-purpose component designed for reliable performance in AC motor applications and power management circuits. It utilises a metalised polypropylene film as its dielectric, with electrodes formed from an ultra-thin metal coating applied via vacuum evaporation. This advanced construction ensures excellent electrical characteristics and long-term stability.

The capacitive element is securely sealed with polyurethane resin, while the outer case and cover are manufactured from self-extinguishing plastic material, enhancing safety in the event of a fault. Key technical benefits include low losses from its non-inductive winding, a crucial self-healing property that prevents short circuits by isolating localised dielectric breakdowns, and a compact, lightweight design that saves valuable space on circuit boards. The robust sealing also ensures there is no risk of leakage.

Rated for a maximum AC voltage of 450V and with a precise capacitance of 10µF (±5% tolerance), this capacitor is built for demanding environments, offering a dv/dt rating of 20V/µs. It operates reliably within a broad temperature range from -25°C to 70°C and meets the P0 class of safety protection. Its wire-leaded terminals facilitate straightforward soldering and integration into a wide variety of electronic assemblies.
