The flame sensor — also called a flame rod — is a critical safety component mounted directly in the burner flame path. It passes a small DC microamp current through the flame to verify ignition. When the control board does not detect that current within a few seconds of ignition, it immediately shuts off the gas valve as a safety lockout. A contaminated or failed sensor is one of the most common causes of a furnace or packaged unit that lights and then shuts off after just 5–8 seconds, triggering a repeated ignition lockout fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50HJ401431 | Genuine Carrier replacement — factory-matched to \u003cstrong\u003ePY1RPA060074AAWA\u003c\/strong\u003e specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel sensing probe with \u003cstrong\u003ecorrosion-resistant alumina-coated rod\u003c\/strong\u003e | Compact form factor (approx. 2.9\" W × 4\" D × 1.75\" H) | Compatible with standard 24V AC furnace control circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM vs Generic:\u003c\/strong\u003e OEM sensors maintain factory-calibrated microamp sensitivity thresholds.
