OEM Payne 2-Pole Contactor 24V Coil for Model PA12NA030000AGAA

This is the factory-specified OEM replacement contactor (part number HN51KC024) for the Payne PA12NA030000AGAA split-system air conditioner. The contactor is a high-voltage relay that acts as the main switch between your thermostat's 24V control signal and the 240V power supply feeding the compressor and condenser fan motor. When a contactor fails — due to pitted or burned contact points, a stuck plunger, or a failed coil — the most common symptoms are an AC unit that won't turn on at all, a compressor that won't start despite the fan running, or audible chattering and buzzing from the condenser cabinet.

  • Specs: 2-pole configuration | 24V coil voltage | 30-amp rating | Factory-matched contact material and coil resistance for precise pull-in voltage
  • OEM vs Generic: OEM contactors use factory-spec silver-alloy contact points rated for thousands of switching cycles. Generic aftermarket contactors frequently use lower-grade contacts that pit and burn prematurely, leading to repeat failures within a single cooling season.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Shut off power at both the disconnect and breaker before beginning. Tools needed: flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Photograph all wiring connections before removing the old contactor. Swap wires one at a time to avoid miswiring.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Orders placed before cutoff ship same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed and tested for the Payne PA12NA030000AGAA 2.5-ton split-system condenser. Always verify the pole count, coil voltage, and amperage rating on your existing contactor's label before ordering. Our fitment team is available to confirm compatibility before you buy — ships same day, in stock now.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Contactor fit my Payne PA12NA030000AGAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM contactor for the Payne PA12NA030000AGAA. It is a direct drop-in replacement that fits without modification. Always verify the model number on your equipment nameplate before ordering.
How do I replace the contactor on my Payne PA12NA030000AGAA?
Difficulty: Medium (30–45 min)
Step 1: Turn off breaker. Step 2: Open condensing unit panel. Step 3: Photograph ALL wiring on the contactor. Step 4: Label each wire with tape. Step 5: Disconnect wires and remove old contactor. Step 6: Mount new contactor, reconnect wires matching your photo. Step 7: Restore power and test.
My AC clicks but the compressor won’t turn on. What’s wrong?
Clicking from the outdoor unit without the compressor starting = worn contactor. The contactor sends power to the compressor. When its contacts are pitted, it clicks but can’t make solid contact. Look for: visible pitting/burn marks on the contactor face, intermittent operation, or buzzing.
Is this contactor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?
Many Payne parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.
Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my Payne contactor?
OEM recommended for reliability and warranty compatibility. OEM parts match exact factory specifications for proper fit, performance, and safety. While aftermarket alternatives cost less upfront, the risk of improper fit and reduced lifespan usually makes OEM the better value long-term.
How fast does National HVAC Parts ship?
