Overview

This OEM contactor (part #1280465) is the genuine 3-pole, 35-amp, 24-volt-coil contactor for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RH5430554 unit. A 3-pole contactor switches all three line legs to power the compressor and condenser fan when the thermostat calls. The 24V coil pulls the contacts closed, and the third pole provides full switching for higher-capacity or 3-phase-style load configurations. As the contacts wear, they pit and burn, causing chatter, failure to start, or contacts that weld shut and leave the unit running non-stop. Swapping a worn 35A contactor is a fast, high-value repair that protects the compressor from voltage and current abuse.
