OEM Carrier 1-Pole 40 Amp Contactor HN51JD026 for Model PH13NR060000AHAA

This is the factory OEM contactor for the Carrier PH13NR060000AHAA heat pump condenser. The contactor is the high-voltage relay that completes the circuit to the compressor and condenser fan motor every time your thermostat calls for cooling or heating. When it fails — due to worn contacts, pitted or fused contact tips, or a burned-out coil — your system will either fail to start entirely, run continuously without shutting off, or trip the breaker repeatedly. Replacing it promptly prevents compressor damage and restores reliable operation.

• Specs: 1-Pole (SPST) | 40 Amp FLA | 24V AC Coil | 50/60 Hz | Includes shunt | OEM Part # HN51JD026
• OEM vs Generic: This is the genuine Carrier factory part — not an aftermarket substitute. OEM contactors are manufactured to exact coil pull-in voltage, contact material, and AMP rating tolerances. Generic contactors often use lower-grade contact alloys that pit faster under R-410A load cycling, shortening compressor life.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always disconnect power at the disconnect box and breaker before beginning. Tools needed: flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Photograph all wire positions before removing the old contactor. Transfer wires one at a time to avoid miswiring the 24V control leads to the line-voltage terminals.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed as the direct OEM replacement for Carrier PH13NR060000AHAA heat pump condensers. Verify the existing contactor's pole count, amp rating, and coil voltage against your unit's wiring diagram before ordering.
