Overview

This genuine OEM definite-purpose contactor (part #1178074) is a 2-pole, 30 amp device with a 24-volt control coil used in the ICP / Heil / Tempstar RGS121LEAB0AAAA system. The contactor acts as the high-voltage switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor when the 24V control signal closes the coil. Contactors are high-wear components: the contacts arc every time they pull in, eventually pitting, welding shut, or burning open. A failed contactor is one of the most common causes of a system that won't start, won't shut off, or chatters at the relay.
