OEM Carrier 2-Pole Contactor 30 Amp 24V for Model PY3PEA036090NA (HN52KC025)

This OEM contactor is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PY3PEA036090NA condensing unit. The contactor acts as the high-voltage switching relay in your air conditioner — when the thermostat calls for cooling, a 24V signal energizes the contactor coil, which closes the high-voltage circuit to power the compressor and condenser fan motor. When a contactor fails, you'll typically see symptoms like the outdoor unit failing to start, contacts that are visibly burned or pitted, or the compressor running continuously without cycling off.

• Specs: 2-Pole (Double Pole) | 30 Amp FLA | 24V AC Coil | 600V rated | Definite-purpose contactor design
• OEM vs Generic: OEM contactors use silver-alloy contact tips that resist arcing and corrosion far better than generic alternatives. Cheap aftermarket contactors often have thin contact plating that pits quickly, leading to premature compressor failure — a repair that can cost 100× more.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always shut off power at both the disconnect and breaker before beginning. Tools needed: flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Photograph all wire positions before disconnecting the old contactor.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.
