OEM Carrier 2-Pole Contactor 30 Amp 24V for Model PY3PEA042060AB (HN52KC025)

This OEM 2-pole condenser contactor is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PY3PEA042060AB split-system air conditioner. The contactor is the high-voltage switching relay that energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor every time your thermostat calls for cooling. Controlled by the 24V low-voltage circuit, it closes under load to deliver 240V power to the compressor. When it fails, you'll typically experience an AC unit that won't turn on, a unit that chatters or hums at the contactor, pitted or burned contacts, or a system that runs continuously without shutting off.

• Specs: 2-Pole | 30 Amp FLA | 24V AC Coil | 50/60 Hz | Definite Purpose Contactor | Factory-matched drop-in replacement for OEM part number HN52KC025
• OEM vs Generic: OEM contactors feature factory-spec silver-alloy contact tips and exact coil pull-in voltage, ensuring reliable switching under high-load conditions. Generic contactors may use lower-grade contact materials, leading to premature pitting, arcing, and compressor damage over time.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — Shut off power at the disconnect and confirm voltage is zero with a multimeter before touching any terminals. Tools needed: flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, needle-nose pliers, multimeter, and a phone to photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting the old contactor.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty included. Ships same business day from our warehouse on all in-stock orders.
