The VLC 2.2 µF square capacitor is designed as both a starting and operating capacitor for single-phase electric motors. Its polypropylene film construction delivers stable capacitance over time with low internal heat build-up, making it well suited for continuous-duty applications in domestic and light-industrial appliances.

The compact square body (38×15×25 mm) fits into tight motor compartments, and the two-wire lead configuration allows direct connection without additional terminals. The unit covers a rated capacitance range of 1–40 MFD within its series, with this version factory-set at 2.2 µF.
