Eaton Cutler-Hammer C25BNF240T Contactor
The Eaton Cutler-Hammer C25BNF240T is a heavy-duty 2-pole definite purpose contactor designed for high-cycle applications in HVACR and industrial machinery. Engineered with a 40-amp inductive rating and a 50-amp resistive rating, this DP contactor features a 24VAC 50/60Hz coil for standard low-voltage control circuits. The open-type enclosure utilizes a metal mounting plate, ensuring a rigid installation that resists vibration in condensing units and refrigeration systems. This compact contactor is built for non-reversing motor loads and resistive heating elements, offering box lugs and quick connect terminals for versatile field wiring. Whether you are replacing a failed compressor contactor or upgrading a control panel, the C25BNF240T provides the durable silver cadmium oxide contacts required to handle high inrush currents without sticking or pitting. Its compact frame allows for seamless integration into Eaton C25 contactor series footprints, ensuring reliable switching for heavy-duty motors.
Key Benefits- High Amperage Capacity: Rated for 40A FLA (Full Load Amps), making it suitable for larger residential and light commercial HVAC units.
- Durable Construction: Features silver cadmium oxide contacts designed to withstand electrical arcing and extend the mechanical life of the device.
- Simplified Installation: The metal mounting plate and dual box lug/spade terminal configuration provide secure connections and mounting stability.
- Industry Standard Compatibility: Replaces a wide range of 40 amp 2 pole 24v contactors across multiple OEM brands.
What is the difference between this contactor and a standard 1.5-pole contactor?
The C25BNF240T is a true 2-pole contactor, meaning both power legs are broken when the coil is de-energized, providing a safer disconnect than 1.5-pole versions that leave one leg hot.
Can I use this contactor for a 208/230V motor?
Yes, as long as the control circuit provides 24VAC to the coil. The power contacts are rated to handle up to 600VAC, making them ideal for standard 208/230V applications.
Is this contactor suitable for resistive heating loads?
Yes, it is rated for up to 50 resistive amps, though it is primarily optimized for 40 amp inductive motor loads.
