OEM Carrier 2-Pole Contactor 40FLA 24V Coil for Model TCHC0250HEFMRAF131

This is the genuine OEM replacement contactor for the Carrier TCHC0250HEFMRAF131, factory part number HN52TC040. The contactor is the high-voltage relay in your condensing unit that receives a 24V signal from the thermostat and closes the circuit to power the compressor and condenser fan motor. When it fails — due to pitted contacts, a burned coil, or a stuck/welded set of contacts — the unit may refuse to start, hum without engaging, run continuously without shutting off, or trip the breaker repeatedly.

  • Specs: 2-Pole | 40 FLA (Full Load Amps) | 24V AC Coil | 208–230V Switching Voltage | 50/60 Hz | Single Phase | Definite Purpose Contactor
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier factory-authorized part. OEM contactors are manufactured to exact contact gap, coil pull-in voltage, and arc-quench tolerances. Generic substitutes often use thinner contact material, leading to premature pitting and shorter service life under high-load cycling.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always disconnect power at the disconnect box and verify zero voltage with a multimeter before beginning. Tools needed: flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Photograph all wire connections before removal. Label each wire to its terminal (L1, L2, T1, T2) for correct reinstallation.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In-stock units ship same business day from our warehouse when ordered before cutoff.

Compatibility: Designed as the factory-specified contactor for Carrier model TCHC0250HEFMRAF131. Verify coil voltage (24V) and amperage rating (40 FLA) against your unit's data plate before ordering. Cross-reference: HN52TC040 is also noted as equivalent to 310020Q18181CL. Our fitment team is available to confirm compatibility before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Contactor fit my Carrier TCHC0250HEFMRAF131?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM contactor for the Carrier TCHC0250HEFMRAF131. It is a direct drop-in replacement that fits without modification. Always verify the model number on your equipment nameplate before ordering.
How do I replace the contactor on my Carrier TCHC0250HEFMRAF131?
Difficulty: Medium (30–45 min)
Step 1: Turn off breaker. Step 2: Open condensing unit panel. Step 3: Photograph ALL wiring on the contactor. Step 4: Label each wire with tape. Step 5: Disconnect wires and remove old contactor. Step 6: Mount new contactor, reconnect wires matching your photo. Step 7: Restore power and test.
My AC clicks but the compressor won’t turn on. What’s wrong?
Clicking from the outdoor unit without the compressor starting = worn contactor. The contactor sends power to the compressor. When its contacts are pitted, it clicks but can’t make solid contact. Look for: visible pitting/burn marks on the contactor face, intermittent operation, or buzzing.
Is this contactor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?
Many Carrier parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.
Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my Carrier contactor?
OEM recommended for reliability and warranty compatibility. OEM parts match exact factory specifications for proper fit, performance, and safety. While aftermarket alternatives cost less upfront, the risk of improper fit and reduced lifespan usually makes OEM the better value long-term.
How fast does National HVAC Parts ship?
