Baldor Electric Company EC1216C06SP Capacitor Box Kit

EC1216C06SP is a Baldor Electric start capacitor rated 216-259 MFD at 250 V, a component designed for use in Baldor capacitor box kits used with single‑phase Baldor Reliance motors, where it serves to provide the initial phase shift required to start the motor reliably. The capacitor’s housing measures about 2.06 inches in diameter and 4 inches long, and Baldor catalogs it as ELEC CAP, 216-259 MFD, 250V, indicating its electrical rating and physical form factor for correct fitment in the capacitor box assembly. You’ll commonly find EC1216C06SP referenced in Baldor parts catalogs and customer information packets as the electrical capacitor component for capacitor box assemblies in motors and compressor kits, including lines associated with the L1410T family. Replacing a worn or failed EC1216C06SP with the same Baldor part helps restore proper start torque and dependable startup in compatible Baldor systems without needing to rework wiring or select an alternative capacitor.
