This OEM contactor (part number HN51KB024) is the factory-specified replacement for the Payne PA12NA02400GABAA split-system air conditioner. The contactor is a high-voltage relay controlled by a low-voltage (24V) signal from your thermostat. When the thermostat calls for cooling, the contactor closes and sends 240V power to the compressor and condenser fan motor. A failed contactor is one of the most common causes of an air conditioner that won't start — symptoms include a system that clicks but never comes on, a compressor that hums without starting, or pitted/burned contact points visible on inspection.
Compatibility: Designed specifically for the Payne PA12NA02400GABAA split-system condenser. Verify pole count, amperage rating, and coil voltage on your unit's data plate before ordering. Our fitment team is available to confirm compatibility before you buy — no guesswork required.
