OEM Carrier 2-Pole Contactor 24V Coil for Model CP50P550P504020CP
This OEM replacement contactor is the factory-specified part for the Carrier CP50P550P504020CP packaged unit. The contactor is a high-voltage relay controlled by your 24V thermostat signal — when the thermostat calls for cooling, the contactor closes its poles to send line voltage to the compressor and condenser fan motor. A failed contactor is one of the most common reasons an air conditioning system stops responding to thermostat calls entirely, or causes intermittent no-cool conditions, chattering, or welded contacts that prevent the system from shutting off.
