OEM Carrier Single-Pole Contactor 1-Pole 24V 30A for Model PH13NR048000AEAA

This is the genuine OEM Carrier contactor (part #HN51KC024) factory-specified for the Carrier PH13NR048000AEAA heat pump condensing unit. The contactor is the high-voltage relay that closes when your thermostat sends a 24V signal, routing line voltage to the compressor and condenser fan motor. When it fails, symptoms include the system not turning on at all, audible chattering or humming from the contactor, the unit running continuously and failing to shut off, or visibly pitted and burned contact points inside the control compartment.

• Specs: 1-Pole (single-pole) | 24 VAC coil voltage | 30A Full Load Amps (FLA) | 150A Locked Rotor Amps (LRA) | 50/60 Hz | Factory OEM part #HN51KC024
• OEM vs Generic: This OEM contactor is built to exact Carrier factory tolerances for contact gap, coil pull-in voltage, and current rating. Generic aftermarket contactors often use lower-grade contact material prone to pitting and premature welding, which can leave your compressor running uncontrolled — an expensive failure mode.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — Shut off power at the disconnect and verify zero voltage with a multimeter before touching any wiring. Photograph all wiring connections before removal. Tools needed: flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Note: low-voltage (24V coil) terminals may be positioned differently from the original — reference the unit wiring diagram.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In-stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.
