6.3 μF gate motor capacitor (microfarad) compatible BFT, FAAC, DITEC

The 6.3 μF capacitor YAW-001000219 is an electrical component used in 230V single-phase motors installed in automatic gate automations.

In automation systems, the capacitor is essential to create the electrical phase shift between the motor windings, allowing the motor itself to start and operate properly. Over time, this component may lose capacity or deteriorate, causing abnormalities in the operation of the gate.

Some of the most common symptoms of a worn capacitor include:

• difficulty starting the engine

• slow or low force movement

• opening without closing or closing without opening

• Engine stops under load

Replacing the capacitor is often a quick and easy solution to get the automation back to proper operation.

The YAW-001000219 model has a nominal capacity of 6.3 microfarads (6.3 μF) and can be installed as a replacement on any engine that uses this capacity value.

It is important to know that the capacitors installed in automation motors are generally not produced directly by the motor manufacturers, but purchased from specialized manufacturers. For this reason, the fundamental parameter to be respected is the capacity in microfarads, while shape and brand can vary.

Compatibility with BFT motors

This capacitor value is used on several BFT operators including:

• GOLD

• LUX (230V versions)

• RAD

• BERMA

• GENIUS Mistral 400 R

• GENIUS Mistral T 300 R

• GENIUS Mistral T 400 R

• GENIUS Sirocco 250

• GENIUS Sirocco 250 LS

Compatibility with DITEC motors

In automations DITEC this value is used on different models for swing gates such as:

• Facil 3

• Facil 3E

• Easy 3H

• Easy 3EH

• Luxo 3R

• Luxo 3B

• Luxo 3BH

• Luxo 4BH

• Luxo 5B

• Luxo 5BH

• Luxo 5VBH

Equivalent codes

The YAW-001000219 capacitor can replace several codes used by automation manufacturers, including:

• BFT 2600679

• DITEC NC6C6C3EF

• FAAC 60200315

Technical Note

Before proceeding with the replacement, it is always necessary to check the value of the capacitor installed in the motor. If the value listed is 6.3 μF, this capacitor can be used as a compatible replacement.
