Overview

This OEM contactor set fits the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS181HEBB7CGAA and includes a 2-pole 30-amp contactor (part #1171554) and a 3-pole 40-amp contactor (part #1172449), both with a 24-volt control coil. A contactor is an electrically operated switch that uses the low-voltage 24V signal from the control board or thermostat to close high-voltage contacts and energize the load. Pitted, burned, or chattering contacts are a leading cause of no-start conditions, buzzing, and welded-closed failures that keep equipment running continuously. Fresh OEM contactors restore reliable, clean switching.
