Carrier P282-0421 Contactor
The Carrier P282-0421 is a commercial-grade 2 pole 40 amp contactor engineered for heavy-duty cycling in residential and commercial HVAC system repair. This definite purpose contactor features a 24V coil (50/60 Hz) and is designed to handle the high inrush currents typical of compressor and fan motor startups. Built with silver cadmium oxide contacts, it provides superior conductivity and resists welding or pitting under load, making it a reliable OEM replacement part for Carrier, Bryant, and Payne equipment.
For contractors, the P282-0421 simplifies field installation with universal lug terminals and standard 0.250" quick-connect pins for the coil and power poles. It meets UL Bulletin 508 standards for industrial control equipment, featuring Class B coil insulation to withstand high internal temperatures. Whether you are performing an AC contactor replacement or troubleshooting a heat pump that won't kick on, this 40-amp rated component ensures the electrical integrity of the high-voltage circuit.
Key Benefits for HVAC Professionals- Enhanced Durability: Silver cadmium oxide contacts extend the operating life by reducing arcing during 40A resistive loads.
- Universal Compatibility: Directly replaces multiple legacy part numbers including 13B0002N02 and 685378-23.
- Robust Construction: Enclosed coil design and Class B insulation provide protection against dust and terminal overheating.
- Flexible Wiring: Box lug terminals accommodate 4-14 CU/AL wire, facilitating secure connections on the job site.
Can I use a 40 amp contactor to replace a 30 amp version?
Yes, upgrading to a higher amperage rating like the P282-0421 is a standard practice that provides a more robust switching surface, provided the coil voltage and physical footprint match.
What are the symptoms of a failing HVAC contactor?
Common indicators include a "chattering" sound, pitted contact points, or a burnt smell near the control box. If the 24V signal is present at the coil but the plunger fails to pull in, the coil has likely failed.
Is this contactor suitable for 50Hz systems?
The Carrier P282-0421 is rated for both 50Hz and 60Hz frequencies, making it compatible with various power grid configurations.
