Overview

Genuine OEM definite purpose contactor for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RH5320362 condensing unit, available as the 2-pole 40A (part number 1280460) or 1-pole 30A (part number 1280004) configuration. The contactor is the electrically operated switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan whenever the 24V thermostat circuit calls for cooling. Over time the contacts pit, burn, or weld, causing a unit that won't start, won't stop, hums, chatters, or trips the breaker. Both versions use a 24V coil and are sized to the load they switch.
