OEM Carrier 2-Pole Contactor 30 Amp 24V Coil — HN52KC025 for Model PY3PPA036060NB

This OEM-spec 2-pole contactor is the factory-authorized replacement for the Carrier PY3PPA036060NB condenser unit, cross-referenced under part number HN52KC025. The contactor acts as the high-voltage relay that bridges your thermostat's low-voltage (24V) control signal to the 240V power circuit running the compressor and condenser fan. When the contactor fails — due to worn contacts, pitting, or a burned coil — the air conditioner simply won't turn on, or may hum without starting. Replacing it promptly prevents compressor damage from repeated failed-start attempts.

• Specs: 2-Pole (double pole) | 30 Amp FLA | 24V AC coil | 600V rated | Definite-purpose contactor — matches factory specification for PY3PPA036060NB
• OEM vs Generic: OEM contactors feature silver-alloy contact tips that resist pitting and arcing, maintaining reliable high-current switching. Generic contactors often use inferior alloys that corrode faster, especially in humid outdoor condenser environments.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always disconnect power at the breaker and wait for capacitors to discharge before servicing. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, flat-head screwdriver, multimeter. Photograph all wiring before disconnecting terminals — the contactor is typically secured by two screws in the control box.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM manufacturer warranty. In-stock units ship same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PY3PPA036060NB packaged or split-system condenser unit. Note: OEM part HN52KC025 has been superseded — this listing ships the current authorized replacement (HN52KC024) which is a direct, drop-in substitute with identical 2-pole, 30 Amp, 24V coil specifications. Always verify voltage and amperage on your unit's data plate before ordering. Questions about fitment? Our HVAC parts team confirms compatibility before you buy.
