OEM Carrier 2-Pole Contactor 40 Amp 24V Coil — HN52TC040 for Model TCHC2550HECMRAH102
This is the factory OEM replacement contactor for the Carrier TCHC2550HECMRAH102 heat pump system. The contactor is the high-voltage relay that the thermostat's 24V control signal energizes to switch line voltage power to the compressor and condenser fan motor. When a contactor fails, the system may hum and do nothing, fail to respond to a call for cooling or heating, or trip the breaker repeatedly due to worn or pitted contacts that arc under load.
