Overview

This is a genuine OEM 2-pole definite purpose contactor (part number 1171554) for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS243SFFA0AAAA rooftop gas/electric package unit. The contactor is the electrically operated switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor whenever the thermostat calls for cooling. Rated for 30 amps per pole with a 24V control coil, it uses a low-voltage signal to safely switch the high-voltage load. When a contactor fails, the system either won't start (open coil or pitted contacts) or won't shut off (welded contacts), and you may hear a chattering hum or see scorched, pitted terminals. Replacing a worn contactor restores reliable cooling cycles and protects the more expensive compressor from voltage drop and chatter damage.
