OEM Carrier 2-Pole Contactor 35A 208/240V for Model 09DE098C230

This is the factory OEM replacement contactor for Carrier model 09DE098C230, sourced directly from Carrier (part number HN52KC053). The contactor is the primary high-voltage switching relay in your condensing unit — when the thermostat calls for cooling, the 24V control circuit energizes the contactor coil, closing the high-voltage contacts that power the compressor and condenser fan motor. A failed contactor is one of the most common reasons an air conditioner simply will not turn on, hums continuously without starting, or trips the breaker on startup. Replacing it with the correct OEM part ensures proper contact gap, coil pull-in voltage, and amperage rating — all critical to compressor longevity.

• Specs: 2-pole | 35 Amps | 208/240V load voltage | 24V coil | Factory OEM part number HN52KC053
• OEM vs Generic: OEM contactors use silver-alloy contacts rated to factory arc-interruption standards. Generic contactors often use lower-grade alloys that pit and weld faster under the high-inrush current of compressor startups, leading to premature failure.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — Turn off power at the disconnect and breaker before beginning. Tools needed: flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting. Verify coil voltage matches your control board output (24V).
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed for use in Carrier model 09DE098C230. Always verify the part number on your existing contactor's label before ordering. Our fitment team is available to confirm compatibility prior to purchase — just reach out before you order.
