What amp contactor do I need for my Carrier system?

The correct replacement for Carrier model Model FIOP200C501GA is this exact part. It is the factory-specified replacement with exact OEM specifications. Using a part with different specifications can cause equipment damage or void your warranty. You can verify this by checking the data plate on your Carrier equipment which lists the model number Model FIOP200C501GA.

My AC clicks but the compressor does not turn on. What is wrong?

Clicking from the outdoor unit without the compressor starting usually means a worn contactor. The contactor is the relay that sends power to the compressor. When its contacts are pitted or worn, it clicks but cannot establish a solid electrical connection. Other symptoms: visible pitting or burn marks on the contactor face, AC works intermittently, or buzzing from the contactor.

Is this contactor compatible with Bryant or Payne systems too?

Many Carrier parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne systems since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across multiple brand labels with different model numbers. To verify cross-compatibility, check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or contact info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number for confirmation.

OEM Carrier Contactor HN51KC024 for Model FIOP200C501GA

This OEM Carrier contactor is the high-voltage switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor in your FIOP200C501GA unit each time the thermostat calls for cooling. Over years of cycling, the contacts pit, burn, or weld, producing hard starts, a persistent hum, chattering, or a complete no-cool failure. Manufactured to Carrier's exact factory specification, this contactor matches the FIOP200C501GA coil voltage, amperage, and pole layout for a true plug-in replacement with no adapters or rewiring. Installation is a moderate DIY task: disconnect power at the breaker and the unit disconnect, photograph the existing wiring, then move each lead one at a time to the matching terminal on the new contactor and remount it in the bracket. Most replacements wrap up in under 30 minutes with basic hand tools. A genuine OEM contactor protects your compressor and avoids the early failures and fitment issues common with universal parts. In stock and ships same-day when ordered before 3PM CST, so your cooling returns fast. Replace alongside the run capacitor for a full electrical tune-up.
