This OEM contactor (part number HN51KC024) is the factory-specified replacement for the Payne PA13NR042000ACAA split-system air conditioner. The contactor is a high-voltage relay that receives a 24V signal from the thermostat and closes the circuit to send line voltage to the compressor and condenser fan motor. When the contactor fails — due to pitted or burned contacts, a stuck plunger, or a failed coil — the outdoor unit will not energize, leaving you with no cooling even though the indoor air handler continues to run.
Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Payne PA13NR042000ACAA 3.5-ton single-stage R-410A split-system condenser. Always verify your existing contactor's pole count, coil voltage, and amperage rating against your unit's data plate before ordering. Our HVAC parts specialists are available to confirm fitment — reach out before you buy for total peace of mind.
