OEM Carrier 2-Pole Contactor (HN52KC025) for Model PH1PPA036000AABA

This is the OEM factory-specified contactor for the Carrier PH1PPA036000AABA packaged heat pump unit. The contactor is the high-voltage relay that receives a 24V signal from the thermostat and closes the circuit to send 240V power to the compressor and condenser fan motor. When the contactor fails — due to burned or pitted contact points, a stuck plunger, or a failed coil — the outdoor unit simply won't start, even though the thermostat is calling for cooling or heating. Replacing it with the correct OEM part (HN52KC025) restores factory-reliable switching performance and protects downstream components from voltage irregularities.

• Specs: 2-Pole configuration | 24V control coil voltage | High-amperage power contacts | Factory-matched for Carrier PH1PPA036000AABA — verified OEM fit
• OEM vs Generic: OEM contactors feature precision contact surface plating and exact coil pull-in voltage tolerance. Generic aftermarket units often use inferior contact alloys that pit and arc faster, shortening service life and risking compressor damage.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always disconnect and lock out power at the disconnect box before beginning. Tools needed: flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Photograph all wiring before removing the old contactor. Swap one wire at a time to avoid miswiring.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In-stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed as a direct OEM replacement for Carrier model PH1PPA036000AABA packaged heat pump systems. Always verify your existing contactor's pole count, coil voltage, and amperage rating against your unit's data plate before ordering. Have a question about fitment?
