I would try:

Radio Shack
Allied Electronics
Mouser
Jameco

Allied probably being your best bet.

I should think a higher voltage rating like 370 volts would be ok so long as it was still .75 mfd.

So might have better luck searching for this by not including "330".

Also capacitors are abbreviated uF

So maybe search for

.75uF capacitor AC

or...

.75uF capacitor 370 AC

or 370 vac capacitors

(Might call and ask some of the places you find with the last search.)

Any electronic store such as the ones mentioned, or Frys, should have something. What is your application? If it is something like HVAC then a 370 VAC might be a better number. 1.414 X 240 = 339 volts!

But if the application calls for 370, it is available I am sure. In most applications, there is no downside to using a capactor with a higher max. voltage rating.

I am in need of finding 0.75 mfd - 330 VAC capacitors. Can anyone help????

Depending on your application, try Grainger.
Two 165v 1.5 uF in series will give you 0.75 uF @ 330vac [but you need some voltage sharing resistors] , or two 0.375 uF 330v in parallel will give you 0.75 uF @ 330v.

And what's your tolerance on the 0.75?

The voltage rating on a capacitor is essentially its insulation rating...the point where it might short out by flashover or piercing the insulation layer. So, normally, using one with a higher voltage rating isn't an issue.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
