OEM Carrier Gas Furnace Flame Sensor Rod for PG8DAA060135ACJA

The flame sensor in your Carrier PG8DAA060135ACJA furnace is a single metal rod that sits directly in the burner flame and confirms, through microamp flame rectification, that gas is actually burning. When the rod becomes coated with carbon and silica, corrodes, or cracks, the control board can no longer 'see' the flame. The furnace lights, runs for a few seconds, then shuts the gas valve and tries again. Homeowners notice short-cycling, repeated igniter clicks, bursts of cold air from the registers, and a furnace that can't keep up on a cold morning before locking out entirely. This is a Kanthal/stainless sensing rod on a ceramic insulator, with the rod length and bend angle matched to the PG8DAA burner so the tip lands in the hottest part of the flame. A healthy sensor reads roughly 1-6 microamps DC; anything below about 1 microamp triggers loss-of-flame faults. OEM matters here because a generic rod with a slightly different length, diameter, or insulator mis-positions the tip and produces a weak, erratic signal the board reads as 'no flame'—even when the burner is lit. The result is nuisance lockouts that imitate a much bigger failure. Install difficulty: 1 of 5. Tools: 1/4" nut driver, fine emery cloth or Scotch-Brite, and a multimeter with a microamp DC range to verify the signal. #1 safety warning: shut off both the gas supply and electrical power at the furnace before removing the sensor, and never touch the sensing tip with bare fingers.
