Rated at 35 amps with a 24-volt control coil, this contactor is the electromechanical switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor whenever the thermostat calls for cooling. When the 24V coil is energized, the contactor closes the high-voltage line to the compressor; when the call ends, it drops out and opens the circuit. Contactors wear out because the contacts arc and pit on every cycle, eventually burning, welding, or chattering. Common symptoms of a failing contactor are a buzzing outdoor unit, a compressor that won't start, or a system that won't shut off because the contacts have welded closed. Replacing a pitted contactor early protects the compressor from harmful low-voltage starts and short-cycling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\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\u003eSingle-Pole (1P) Definite Purpose Contactor\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\u003eRating\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\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for the Tempstar TCA448AKC3 condensing unit and other ICP\/Heil\/Comfortmaker air conditioners using a 1-pole 35A 24V definite purpose contactor.
