5.5 µF (uF) capacitor (permanent or start-up) special for SOMFY or SIMU roller shutter or blind motor, delivered with an adhesive support foam (free).

Condition : brand new professional equipment. You see in the photo what you buy, the product is 100% compliant and original.

Origin : capacitor created in France! 

Application : to replace the capacitor (known as permanent or start-up) on all types of Somfy or Simu roller shutter, awning or garage door motor.  

Examples of failure symptoms : when your engine stops after a few cm on ascent, or you have to help it by hand to climb, or it shows weaknesses, or makes an abnormal noise... is that the capacitor is worn. By changing it, your engine will become like new again! Another possible symptom, the motor does not move at all, neither when going up or down, it can also come from the capacitor in this case. 

Specific capacitor for SOMFY or SIMU motor : 

• My capacitors are specially designed to work with SOMFY or SIMU motors. You just have to determine the value you need. On your old capacitor, the value in µF (uF) is written on it. The model proposed in this advertisement is a 5.5 µF (uF). For other value check out my other listings in my shop.
• For the rest (class A / B / C, standard, tolerance, etc.), it doesn't matter, my capacitors are compatible with all Somfy or Simu brand motors.
• For info, Simu and Somfy are part of the SOMFY ACTIVITES group. My capacitors have ideal characteristics for these 2 brands of motor.

Technical characteristics :

• My capacitors are high performance, professional grade models. In addition, I check them with a capacitance meter before shipping.
• Self-healing metallized polypropylene for long life (more than 50,000 hours under 230 Volts).
• They tolerate high temperature up to 85 °.
• Complies with European standard EN 60252.
• Self-extinguishing reinforced plastic condenser body. 
• Applicable voltages: 220 Vac, 230 Vac,… and up to 500 Vac!
• Perfectly replaces Arcotronics AV series 1.27.7LA5 MKP etc ...
• Works perfectly on all Somfy or Simu power motors 20 Nm, such as the Somfy LT50 Meteor 20/17, the Oximo RTS 20/17, the ILMO 50 WT 20/17, the Simu T5 20/17 engine, etc. But also on some power engines 30 Nm Where 40 Nm such as the Somfy Solus 30 radio kit S, Solus 30 PA motor or even the American 540R5 40/12 series of reference motors. 

The capacitor lugs at 3 mm (2.8 mm exactly) :

• The capacitor has 2 small connection lugs 3 mm wide (2.8 mm to be precise). There is no sense of connection (no polarity), you can plug in any direction. These are the same lug widths as the original lugs Somfy or Simu. To connect a terminal, it fits together in force; you hold tight and you force, and it fits into the female motor terminal.

Dimensions : 

• Capacitor diameter: 25 mm (the capacitor therefore easily fits into all the motor tubes).
• Total length of the capacitor with the terminals: 80 mm.  

Why choose a quality capacitor?

• the capacitor plays an important role in a Somfy or Simu tubular motor. The capacitor produces a phase shift on one of the two motor coils, which generates a rotating magnetic field and torque, and rotates the motor axis. If you choose a low-end capacitor (bad tolerance, unstable value over time ...), the phase shift will not be good, the motor will malfunction and it will fail again in the medium term.. So, you really have to put qualityé. Capacitor quality = extended motor life!
