Description

Packard C240A 2-Pole Contactor, 24V, 40 Amp, is a definite purpose contactor used in HVAC and light commercial systems to switch two-pole loads such as condenser or heat pump compressors and fan motors with a 24 volt coil signal.

Key Features:
  • OEM Packard 2-pole definite purpose contactor
  • 40 amp resistive load rating for typical HVAC condenser and heat pump applications
  • 24 VAC coil for control by standard low voltage thermostat or control circuits
  • Two poles of power switching for disconnecting both sides of the load when de-energized
  • Compact open-frame design for installation in equipment control compartments
  • Line, load, and coil terminals arranged for straightforward field wiring

Compatibility & Applications:
  • Intended for use in air conditioners, heat pumps, and other HVAC equipment requiring a 2-pole, 40 amp, 24V coil contactor
  • Suitable for residential and light commercial outdoor units, air handlers, and other equipment within the contactor's ratings
  • Used as a replacement where equipment specifications call for a 2-pole contactor with similar electrical ratings and coil voltage

Installation & Operation Notes:
  • Disconnect power at all sources and verify that all circuits are de-energized before starting work
  • Mount the contactor securely in the control compartment or electrical panel as directed by the equipment manufacturer
  • Move line, load, and control wires from the existing contactor to the new contactor, matching wiring diagrams and terminal markings
  • After energizing the system, verify that the contactor pulls in and opens cleanly, with proper operation during system start and stop cycles
  • Confirm that all terminations are tight and that wiring is supported to prevent strain at the terminals

Maintenance & Troubleshooting:
  • Inspect the contactor during routine HVAC maintenance for pitted or burned contacts, coil discoloration, or mechanical binding
  • Replace the contactor if the coil fails to energize, if the contacts do not close fully, or if there is evidence of overheating or excessive humming
  • If repeated contactor issues occur, verify that load current and control voltage are within specification and that short cycling is not overstressing the contactor

2 out of a dozen were defective

I July-August 2020 I've installed a dozen of these Packard 2-pole 40 Amps 24V coil contractors. Out of a dozen one didn't work right out from the box, another contactor got coil shortage 2 days after installation. At the same time period I've installed/replaced about a dozen of 3-pole contractors and so far no issues... So, I am not buying Packard 2-pole contactors anymore.

When needed again, I would purchase these units again.

I need a contactor smaller in size but at the same amperage that I have been using. These will work great with the new panel.
