OEM Carrier 2-Pole Condenser Contactor 30 Amp 24V for Model PH3PEA036000AA (HN52KC025)

This OEM-spec 2-pole condenser contactor is the factory-matched replacement for the Carrier PH3PEA036000AA packaged heat pump system. The contactor functions as the high-voltage relay that connects and disconnects power to the compressor and condenser fan motor each time your thermostat sends a 24V signal to call for cooling or heating. When the contactor wears out — pitted contacts, coil burnout, or welded contacts — the most common symptoms are a system that won't turn on at all, won't shut off, or intermittently loses cooling capacity.

• Specs: 2-Pole (Double Pole) | 30 Amp RES / 20 Amp FLA | 24V AC Coil | 50/60 Hz | Tyco Electronics 3100A series platform | OEM Part# HN52KC025 / Superseded by HN52KC024
• OEM vs Generic: OEM contactors are wound and rated to exact factory coil pull-in voltage specs, ensuring reliable 24V engagement without chatter. Generic contactors may use lower-grade silver-alloy contact tips that pit faster under high-inrush compressor loads.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always shut off power at the disconnect and breaker before servicing. Tools needed: flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Photograph all wire connections before removal. Slide wires onto new contactor terminals in the same positions. Total job time: 15–20 minutes for an experienced DIYer.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM manufacturer warranty. Ships same business day from our stocked warehouse.
