Is your fan humming but not spinning? Or has it lost its high-speed performance? Our 100V NP (Non-Polarized) Capacitors are the professional solution for fan motor repairs and electronic applications. These "Bipolar" capacitors are designed to handle AC voltage signals, making them ideal for motor starting, speed regulation, and audio crossover circuits.
We stock a comprehensive range to match your specific equipment needs:
Low Range (Speed Control): 1.5uF / 2.2uF (Gold) / 3.3uF (Black/Gold) / 4.7uF / 5.6uF / 6.8uF
Mid Range: 22uF / 33uF / 47uF / 68uF
High Range (Filter/Crossover): 100uF / 220uF
Electric Fans: Fix slow-spinning ceiling fans, table fans, or wall fans by replacing the "run" capacitor.
Audio Crossovers: Excellent for passive speaker crossovers to filter frequencies for tweeters and mid-range drivers.
Small Motor Starting: Provides the necessary phase shift for small AC motors to start efficiently.
General Electronics: Used in circuits where the voltage polarity may reverse or is unknown.
Non-Polarized (NP/BP): No positive or negative side—can be installed in any direction for safe AC signal handling.
High Temperature Stability: Built to withstand the heat generated within fan motor housings during continuous operation.
Low Dissipation Factor: Ensures minimal energy loss and low heat generation, extending the life of your motor.
Compact Radial Design: Fits easily into tight spaces inside fan canopies or small electronic enclosures.
Reliable Performance: Rated at 100V to provide a safe overhead for standard household fan applications.
Audio Grade Potential: The non-polarized nature makes the higher uF values popular for budget-friendly audio speaker repairs.
Color-Coded Options: Specific values available in Gold or Black/Gold casing for easy identification in your toolkit.
Type: Aluminum Electrolytic (Non-Polarized / Bipolar)
Voltage Rating: 100V
Value: 1.5UF / 2.2UF (GOLD) / 3.3UF (BLACK / GOLD) / 4.7UF / 5.6UF / 6.8UF / 22UF / 33UF / 47UF / 68UF / 100UF / 220UF
How do I know which uF value to choose?
Always match the uF value exactly to the capacitor you are replacing. Using a significantly higher or lower value can cause the motor to overheat or run at the wrong speed.
Does the orientation matter?
No. These are NP (Non-Polarized). You can solder or connect the legs in either direction without risk of explosion or failure.
Can I use a 250V capacitor instead of this 100V?
Yes, you can always go higher in voltage (e.g., using a 250V to replace a 100V), but you must never go lower than the original voltage rating.
