Contactor Double Two Pole 40 Amp 24 Volts for Air Conditioning PC240A Overview A double two pole contactor designed for air conditioning systems requiring a 24 volt control coil and up to 40 amp switching capacity. Model PC240A provides reliable on off switching for compressors, fans, and other HVAC loads where a compact, serviceable contactor is required. Key benefits Reliable switching for HVAC loads: Handles up to 40 amp current to control compressors, condenser fans, and blower motors without frequent wear. Simple compatibility: Uses a 24 volt control coil, making it compatible with most air conditioning control circuits and thermostats that provide 24 volt signals. Reduces downtime: A direct replacement unit that simplifies field service and reduces time spent diagnosing intermittent relay or contact issues. Durable design: Built to perform under typical HVAC operating conditions to maintain consistent contact performance and reduce nuisance trips. Main features Function: Double two pole switching arrangement for simultaneous control of two circuits or for enhanced load handling. Electrical rating: 40 amp maximum switching capacity with a 24 volt control coil, model PC240A. Application focus: Designed specifically for air conditioning and related HVAC control roles. Usability: Straightforward wiring and mounting for installation or replacement in equipment control panels and contactor assemblies. Performance and compatibility Works with standard 24 volt thermostat or control signals commonly used in residential and commercial air conditioning systems. Suitable for switching motors and resistive loads within the 40 amp rating. Recommended as a replacement or spare part for systems that require a double two pole contactor with a 24 volt coil and 40 amp capacity. Practical applications Residential split system replacement: Swap a worn contactor in a home outdoor unit to restore compressor engagement and fan control. Light commercial HVAC units: Control multiple loads like condenser fan and compressor circuits in small rooftop or packaged units. Preventive maintenance spare: Keep as a field spare for service technicians to quickly common contactor failures during scheduled maintenance. Installation notes Verify control voltage and load current do not exceed the 24 volt coil and 40 amp rating before installation. Follow standard electrical safety and wiring practices when replacing or installing the contactor. Confirm terminal arrangement and mounting fit to ensure proper mechanical and electrical connection.
