	Annular-ring Coupled Structure (ACS) cavities have been installed to increase the beam energy of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) linac from 181 to 400 MeV in the maintenance period of 2013. Some of the pillbox type input couplers with a ceramic window to the ACS cavity have a larger coupling factor than the target value by an avoidable manufacturing error. To adjust the coupling factor, a capacitive iris was introduced in the rectangular waveguide near the coupler. As a result, it has been confirmed that the iris decreases the coupling factor to a target value without any significant increase in temperature and in a discharge rate during high-power operation. In this paper, the design procedure of the capacitive iris and the result of the coupling factor adjustment are presented.
