Tecumseh K71-41 Relay
The Tecumseh K71-41 Relay is a mission-critical start relay kit designed for hermetic reciprocating compressors and various refrigeration units. Engineered to handle a 115V AC input at 60Hz, this single-phase electromagnetic relay ensures precise motor starting torque and reliable circuit control in demanding HVACR environments. The hard-start capabilities of the K71-41 are essential for CSIR (Capacitor Start Induction Run) systems, facilitating rapid contact switching to protect the compressor windings from prolonged inrush current.
As a genuine OEM Tecumseh replacement part, this relay kit (SKU: K71-41) features a compact 2x2x2-inch footprint, allowing for seamless integration into tight terminal housings and control panels. Its durable construction is built to withstand high operating temperatures—often exceeding 150°F—common in industrial automation and heavy-duty machinery. Whether you are servicing low-temp or medium-temp units, the Tecumseh K71-41 provides the fast switching response time necessary to maintain system efficiency and prevent electrical faults.
Key Benefits for the Contractor:- Universal Compatibility: Specifically optimized for Tecumseh compressors, ensuring a precise cross-reference for OEM quality performance.
- Enhanced Protection: Effectively manages 60Hz cycles to prevent ground faults and terminal venting caused by improper motor starting.
- Rugged Reliability: Engineered with high-grade materials to resist thermal degradation in refrigeration and HVAC service.
- Simplified Installation: Compact electromagnetic design fits standard mounting configurations for faster field service.
Is the K71-41 compatible with start capacitors?
This start relay is designed for CSIR compressors; however, per technical guidelines, it should be verified against the specific Electrical Service Parts Guidebook for your compressor model to ensure correct relay selection.
What causes this relay to run hot?
It is standard for electromagnetic relays in refrigeration to reach temperatures up to 150°F. Ensure the protective terminal cover is securely fastened to manage heat and prevent debris accumulation.
Can I use this relay for 230V applications?
No, the K71-41 is strictly rated for 115 VAC systems. Using this on a higher voltage system will lead to immediate component failure and potential compressor damage.
