Perfection unachievable but close enough
These appear to be an exact replacement, just a tad shorter but work well.

Suitable replacement
Replaced existing capacitor that had started reading low, and this went right in with no issues. Unit runs just like it should.

Great replacement part. !!! PSA about power box next to AC unit !!!
This replacement part was perfect. I did a lot of research about the specs that my model required, and everything matched exactly as expected. I also try to be a DIY'er at home as much as possible as a responsible homeowner, so I learned from multiple online guides about how to perform the process of replacing this part. My A/C works again! But here's the caveat, and I hope this helps you: While performing the replacement I encountered something unexpected. My power utility company installs power regulation circuits to cut electricity costs when people are typically away from the house during the week during high power consumption periods. This "box" REPLACES the typical outdoor power breaker that sits next to the AC unit. While most online guides tell users to cut off the power here and inside, none mention these utility company power-saver boxes. The front warning text mentioned something about protecting me from injury, but as an American DIY'er, we all know how that works. ...nothing about fines or civil/criminal penalties, so I figured I was good to go. So being a curious DIY'er I broke the wire seal, and popped it open! (after securing all, and I mean "ALL" other power sources to the AC circuit) What I found was a circuit board; nothing about the circuit breaker from all the guides I read. This is definitely a local thing to my metro area, by the way, so I wouldn't necessarily expect you to encounter this box. But just in case you do... Suffice to say, after viewing the circuit board I promptly closed it and went about my business. Even went so far as to scrawl a tiny, little apology in permanent marker on the house paint right next to the box for breaking their little "wire seal". Ha! I'm sure the next service tech will get a kick out of that--right before they still charge me for... whatever this is going to cost for opening the box. Kick the can down the road, as usual. I may be overly curious but I'm still honest and don't want to try to hide this action. Anyways, the point is, if you see one of these little locked boxes, DO NOT OPEN IT; the power breaker is not in there. Just secure power at the circuit breaker inside the house, and TEST, TEST, TEST with a multimeter to make sure there are no energized circuits. Genuinely hope this helps you save money and perform the replacement safely. Good luck!!

works great
replaced AC condenser fan and capacitor when the motor burned out. Found a good deal on this part compared to OEM replacement else where. This was the last part I needed to get the unit up and going, but items arrived late 4 days later than anticipated by Amazon tracking. I left town for 2 weeks before I could work on the until again. Works great, make sure to read the circuit diagram to hook at the wires up correctly. AC is back in business in the MS heat.

Fixed My Furnace!
My gas furnace made a strange sound and wouldn't run. On a lark, I did some Internet searches being careful to describe exactly what was happening. I learned that the sound I described was the blower motor trying to start but was failing because the start capacitor, which provides a short burst of electricity at startup, was burned out. I was nervous but went to the furnace, found the start capacitor and noted its specifications. This part arrived next day via Prime and was easy to install. Wires connect via blade connectors so tools weren't required. My furnace worked! I wouldn't try a repair more difficult than this but am happy to have a $20 furnace repair this time.

Huge money saver!!
Our AC stopped working the other week after we had a solar panel site survey, the guy worked on our breaker box for a while, and it could have been a coincidence but that same day I noticed the outdoor AC unit fan was no longer spinning and would not cut on. I thought that he could have possibly created a power surge that resulted in our capacitor blowing out and before we paid the $100 to have our home warranty company send an AC repairman out to diagnose and fix the issue, I took a chance on replacing the capacitor myself. We checked Lowe's, Home Depot, and a couple other local hardware stores and no one carried the capacitor type we needed. This one was basically identical, except ours was 3% and this one is 5%. Delivery was fast, and I had no trouble switching out the capacitors. I was so pleased when such a simple solution fixed our AC, and our fan is working again. Definitely try this product before you call a professional!!!

Does the job, slightly smaller in diameter compared to the original, easy to install-about 15 minutes, cost saving was about $100 + service call (probably additional $150
