OEM Carrier 2-Pole Contactor 24V Coil for Model CA13NA01800GADAA
This is the factory OEM replacement contactor (part number HN51KC024) for the Carrier CA13NA01800GADAA split-system air conditioner. The contactor is the high-voltage relay that receives a 24V signal from the thermostat and closes the circuit to power the compressor and condenser fan motor. When the contactor fails — due to pitted or burned contacts, a stuck plunger, or a failed coil — the outdoor unit will not energize at all, or may run continuously without responding to thermostat commands.

Specs: 2-pole configuration | 24V coil voltage | 30-amp rated contacts | Direct OEM replacement for part number HN51KC024 | Factory-matched contact material and coil resistance
-
OEM vs Generic: OEM Carrier contactors use factory-spec silver-alloy contacts that resist pitting and arcing over thousands of switching cycles. Generic contactors often use lower-grade contacts that degrade faster under the high inrush current of compressor startup, leading to premature failure and potential compressor damage.

Install difficulty: 3/5 — Always disconnect power at the disconnect box AND the breaker before beginning. Tools needed: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, needle-nose pliers, multimeter for coil continuity check. Photograph all wiring connections before removing the old contactor. Line-voltage terminals carry 240V — exercise extreme caution.

Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Orders placed before cutoff ship same business day from our stocked warehouse.
Compatibility: This contactor is the direct OEM replacement for the Carrier CA13NA01800GADAA single-stage split-system air conditioner. Always verify your existing contactor's pole count, amperage rating, and coil voltage against your unit's data plate and wiring diagram before ordering. Need help confirming fitment?
