Capacitor Hardware and Brackets

Capacitor hardware and brackets are essential components for securely mounting and supporting capacitors in various electrical systems. Designed for both functionality and durability, these brackets and accessories ensure that capacitors are properly installed and protected in applications ranging from industrial machinery to consumer electronics. Our selection includes a variety of mounting hardware, including clips, brackets, and fastening systems, tailored to fit different capacitor sizes and types.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hardware and mounting options do you offer?

Motor Capacitors carries a full range of capacitor mounting and protection hardware, including strap brackets and footed wrap-around brackets for round and oval cans, metal motor-start capacitor brackets, plastic end caps for motor-start capacitors, and rubber insulating boots for a variety of capacitor types.

How do I choose the right bracket for my capacitor?

First match the bracket to the can shape (for example, round or oval), then to the can’s diameter or dimensions. Decide between a strap bracket, which cinches around the body, and a footed wrap-around bracket, which adds a mounting foot for surface fastening. For motor-start capacitors, use the dedicated metal brackets and end caps designed for that capacitor’s size and shape.

What is a rubber boot or end cap for, and do I need one?

Rubber boots provide insulation and help protect exposed terminals from accidental contact, moisture, and debris across many capacitor types. Plastic end caps protect the terminal end of motor-start capacitors. While not always mandatory, they improve safety and durability and are recommended wherever terminals are exposed.

What materials are the brackets and hardware made from?

Brackets are made from metal for strength and secure mounting, end caps are molded plastic for terminal protection, and boots are rubber for insulation. Together these materials provide durable mounting and protection suited to both general-purpose and motor-start capacitor installations.
