OEM Carrier 2-Pole Contactor 30 Amp 24V Coil for Model PY1PEA042080ACBA

This OEM-spec 2-pole contactor is the factory-authorized replacement for the Carrier PY1PEA042080ACBA packaged unit. The contactor is a high-voltage relay controlled by a 24V thermostat signal — when energized, it closes the circuit to send 240V power to the compressor and condenser fan motor. When the contactor fails, the most common symptoms are an AC system that won't turn on at all, a humming condenser with no compressor engagement, or pitted/burned contact points visible on inspection. Replacing a worn contactor promptly prevents compressor burnout from voltage irregularities across damaged contacts.

• Specs: 2-Pole (Double Pole) | 30 Amp FLA | 24V AC Coil | 50/60 Hz | Replaces OEM Part # HN52KC025 (superseded by HN52KC024)
• OEM vs Generic: OEM contactors are manufactured to exact Carrier contact-gap and coil-pull-in voltage specifications. Generic contactors may use lower-grade silver alloy contacts that pit faster under load, increasing the risk of compressor failure and callbacks.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Shut off power at the disconnect and verify zero voltage with a multimeter before starting. Tools needed: flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Photograph all wiring before disconnecting and transfer wires one at a time to the new contactor.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In-stock units ship the same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PY1PEA042080ACBA packaged unit. This contactor is also widely used across Carrier, Bryant, and Payne residential condensing and packaged equipment requiring a 2-pole, 30-amp, 24V coil contactor. Always verify your existing contactor's pole count, amperage, and coil voltage against your unit's data plate before ordering. Our fitment team is available to confirm compatibility before you buy.
