Rated for 40 amps with a 24-volt control coil, this contactor is the high-voltage switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor whenever the thermostat calls for cooling. Both legs of line voltage are interrupted when the coil de-energizes, which is the standard configuration for residential split-system condensers. Over thousands of cycles the contacts pit, burn, and can weld together, while the coil may open or weaken. Common failure symptoms include an outdoor unit that hums but won't start, buzzing or chattering contacts, visible arcing or melted housing, and a compressor that runs continuously because the contacts have welded shut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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\u003eOEM Part Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1059574\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDefinite 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\u003ePoles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-Pole (Double Pole)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContact Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 Amps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoil Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered for the Tempstar TXA460AKA1 air conditioner and matching ICP, Heil, Comfortmaker, and Carrier-family condensing units that originally shipped with OEM part 1059574.
