Packard C230A 2-Pole 30A 24V Definite Purpose Contactor
Description: The Packard C230A is a 2-pole, 30-amp definite purpose contactor built for reliable switching in HVAC and light industrial applications. With a 24V AC coil and ratings up to 600V AC, it handles the demands of air conditioning compressors, heat pumps, condensing units, and other motor-driven equipment with ease.
The C230A features Class B coil insulation for thermal durability and comes ready to install with lugs, spade terminals, and covers included right out of the box — no hunting for hardware. Its 50/60 Hz compatibility makes it suitable for a wide range of electrical systems, and the magnetic contactor design ensures fast, consistent switching every time it's energized.
This is one of the most widely used definite purpose contactors in the HVAC industry and serves as a direct replacement for a long list of OEM and aftermarket units, including Carrier, Honeywell, Siemens, Cutler-Hammer, Mars, and Supco equivalents. If you're replacing a failed contactor in a residential or commercial AC unit, the C230A is a go-to drop-in solution that installs quickly and performs reliably season after season.
