2-Wire 5uF Ceiling Fan Capacitor Specifications
This capacitor powers and stabilizes small electric motors found in household and light-duty devices. It provides steady torque and helps the motor run smoothly.
- Ceiling fan motor control
- Blower fan motors in inflatable decorations
- Other small AC motor applications
When to use it: If your ceiling fan or blower motor no longer starts, spins slowly, or loses power, the capacitor may be weak or damaged. Replacing it often restores full performance quickly and easily.
Compatibility Notes
- Works with most ceiling fan brands including Hunter, Hampton Bay, Harbor Breeze, Westinghouse, and others.
- Also suitable for blower motor fans used in inflatable holiday or decorative displays.
- Your existing capacitor must have 2 wires.
- Ensure the voltage rating matches or exceeds your original capacitor.
- For AC (alternating current) fans only — not for DC motors.
- Wire colors may vary; always follow your fan or motor’s wiring diagram for correct installation.
FAQs
If your fan hums, fails to start, or runs much slower than usual, the capacitor may be weak or burned out. Replacing it typically solves the problem immediately.
Yes, using a capacitor with the same or a higher voltage rating is safe. Avoid using one with a lower voltage rating.
No, wire color can differ between manufacturers. The important part is connecting the wires according to your fan’s wiring diagram.
Yes, this CBB61 capacitor is compatible with both 50Hz and 60Hz electrical systems used in North America and other regions.
Yes. Simply turn off the power, disconnect the old capacitor, and connect the new one using the same two-wire configuration. No special tools are required. Always make sure power is off before installation.
