The contactor is the electrically operated switch that powers the outdoor unit. When the thermostat calls for cooling, 24 volts energizes the contactor coil, pulling the contacts closed to send line voltage to the compressor and condenser fan motor. Rated for 35 amps with a 24VAC coil, this 1-pole design switches the line (L1) leg while the neutral leg passes straight through. Contactor contacts pit, burn, and weld over thousands of switching cycles; a failing contactor causes a humming or chattering unit, a compressor that won't start, or — in the worst case — contacts welded shut so the unit runs continuously. This OEM contactor restores clean, reliable switching with the exact coil voltage and amp rating the TCH248AKD1 requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1050839\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDefinite-Purpose Contactor, 1-Pole\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTempstar (ICP \/ Heil)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContact Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35 Amps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoil Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 VAC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePoles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFits Model\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTCH248AKD1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for the Tempstar TCH248AKD1 and widely shared across ICP-family (Heil, Comfortmaker, Tempstar) condensers and heat pumps that use a 1-pole 35A definite-purpose contactor with a 24V coil.
