Titan FX

Titan FX is a manufacturer of motor run capacitors for HVAC/R applications, produced under the Titan brand family by Packard, a master distributor and private-label manufacturer of HVAC/R electrical components. Titan FX motor run capacitors are designed for replacement service in residential and commercial HVAC condensing units, air handlers, and refrigeration equipment where capacitor failure is one of the most common causes of system malfunction. Packard's Titan brand family includes Titan FX, Titan HD, Titan ICE, Titan MAX, and Titan PRO, each serving specific capacitor application requirements. Titan HD motor run capacitors are made in the USA, carry a 60,000-hour rated operating life, meet the EIA-456-A industry standard, and include a UL-approved pressure-sensitive interrupter. HVAC service technicians and refrigeration contractors specify Titan FX where a high-quality replacement HVAC capacitor with broad microfarad and voltage rating coverage is required for equipment repair.

Titan FX Product Lines

Titan FX Motor Run Capacitors

Titan FX motor run capacitors are Packard's primary replacement capacitor product line for HVAC/R service, available in the round and oval case styles and in the microfarad and voltage ratings found in residential and commercial HVAC condensing units and air handlers. Motor run capacitors in the Titan FX line support both single-run and dual-run configurations, covering compressor-only, fan motor-only, and combined compressor-and-fan-motor circuit applications. Titan FX capacitors are rated at 370V and 440V to match the operating voltage of standard single-phase HVAC equipment. The Titan FX line provides the broad microfarad rating coverage that HVAC service technicians need to carry the most common replacement capacitor values on the service vehicle without stocking every OEM-specific capacitor.

Titan HD Motor Run Capacitors (Made in USA)

Titan HD is Packard's premium motor run capacitor line, distinguished from Titan FX by its USA manufacturing, 60,000-hour rated operating life, and additional quality certifications. Titan HD motor run capacitors meet the EIA-456-A industry standard for capacitor performance and include a UL-approved pressure-sensitive interrupter that safely removes the capacitor from the circuit at end of life, preventing catastrophic failure. Titan HD capacitors use patented, environmentally friendly dielectric oil that prevents corrosion and optimizes heat transfer within the capacitor case. Where Titan FX provides broad replacement coverage at a standard quality level, Titan HD provides premium certified performance for contractors and customers who specify USA-made capacitors with documented quality certifications. Titan HD is available in round and oval case styles at 370V and 440V in the standard HVAC capacitor microfarad range.

Titan PRO, Titan MAX, and Titan ICE Multi-Rated Capacitors

Titan PRO, Titan MAX, and Titan ICE are additional Titan brand capacitor lines from Packard, each designed for specific application requirements within the HVAC/R capacitor replacement market. Titan PRO capacitors are designed to provide high-quality performance and flexibility for professional HVAC service technicians. Multi-rated Titan capacitors are designed with voltage and microfarad ratings that cover multiple standard HVAC capacitor specifications in a single unit, reducing the number of different capacitor values a technician needs to carry for the most common residential HVAC replacement applications. The full Titan capacitor family, including Titan FX, Titan HD, Titan PRO, Titan MAX, and Titan ICE, is distributed by Packard through HVAC wholesale channels including SupplyHouse.

Why Contractors Specify Titan FX

HVAC service technicians specify Titan FX and other Titan brand capacitors because the Packard Titan capacitor line provides broad microfarad and voltage rating coverage in a single brand, reducing the variety of capacitors a technician needs to carry to handle the most common residential HVAC capacitor replacement jobs. Titan HD capacitors are made in the USA with a 60,000-hour rated operating life and meet EIA-456-A industry standards, providing a verifiable quality baseline for contractors who specify premium capacitors. The UL-approved pressure-sensitive interrupter on Titan HD capacitors safely removes the unit from the circuit at end of life, reducing the risk of property damage from a catastrophically failed capacitor. Packard's Titan brand family covers the range of capacitor applications from standard replacement (Titan FX) through premium certified USA-made (Titan HD) to multi-rated flexible units (Titan PRO, MAX, ICE). Titan FX capacitors are available through SupplyHouse.

How to Choose a Titan FX Product

The primary selection variable for a Titan FX capacitor is the microfarad rating and voltage rating of the original capacitor being replaced. Read the capacitor label on the failed unit to identify: the microfarad value (MFD or uF), the voltage rating (370V or 440V), and the configuration (dual-run with two MFD values, or single-run with one MFD value). Match the Titan FX replacement capacitor to these specifications.

The second variable is quality tier. For standard replacement applications, Titan FX provides broad coverage at a competitive price point. For applications where USA manufacturing, a 60,000-hour rated life, EIA-456-A compliance, and a UL-approved pressure-sensitive interrupter are required, specify Titan HD instead of Titan FX. Both are available in the same microfarad and voltage ratings across the standard HVAC capacitor range.

The third variable is case style. Round and oval capacitor cases are both used in residential HVAC condensing unit capacitor compartments. Measure the available space in the capacitor compartment of the specific unit being serviced to confirm whether a round or oval Titan FX capacitor fits the installation. For applications where a single multi-rated capacitor should cover multiple common values, evaluate Titan PRO or Titan ICE multi-rated units, which cover multiple standard MFD ratings in a single capacitor.

FAQs

Who manufactures Titan FX capacitors?

Titan FX capacitors are produced under the Titan brand family by Packard, a master distributor and private-label manufacturer of HVAC/R electrical components. Packard distributes the Titan capacitor line, including Titan FX, Titan HD, Titan PRO, Titan MAX, and Titan ICE, through HVAC wholesale supply channels.

What warranty does Titan FX offer on its capacitors?

Titan FX and Titan HD capacitor warranty terms are available through Packard product documentation at packardonline.com. Confirm the applicable warranty for a specific Titan capacitor model with your distributor at the time of purchase.

What is the difference between Titan FX and Titan HD capacitors?

The difference between Titan FX and Titan HD capacitors is the quality tier and certifications. Titan HD capacitors are made in the USA, carry a 60,000-hour rated operating life, meet the EIA-456-A industry standard, and include a UL-approved pressure-sensitive interrupter that safely removes the capacitor from the circuit at end of life. Titan FX provides broad replacement coverage at a standard quality level without the USA manufacturing and EIA-456-A certification of Titan HD.

What is the EIA-456-A standard for HVAC capacitors?

EIA-456-A is an industry standard published by the Electronic Industries Alliance that establishes test and performance requirements for alternating-current motor run capacitors used in HVAC equipment. Titan HD capacitors from Packard meet the EIA-456-A standard, providing a third-party verifiable quality benchmark for the capacitor's performance and reliability specifications.

Are Titan FX capacitors available in dual-run and single-run configurations?

Titan FX motor run capacitors are available in both dual-run and single-run configurations. Dual-run capacitors have two microfarad values (such as 35+5 MFD) and serve both the compressor and condenser fan motor circuits from a single capacitor. Single-run capacitors have one microfarad value and serve one motor circuit. Identify the original capacitor configuration from the label before ordering a Titan FX replacement.

What are Titan PRO and Titan ICE capacitors designed for?

Titan PRO capacitors are designed for professional HVAC service technicians requiring high-quality performance and flexibility in a run capacitor. Titan ICE is a multi-rated capacitor designed to cover multiple standard HVAC capacitor microfarad ratings in a single unit, reducing the variety of capacitors a technician needs to carry for common residential HVAC service calls. Both Titan PRO and Titan ICE are distributed by Packard alongside Titan FX and Titan HD.
