Rectorseal M61430 Three Pole Contactor 30A 24V

Product Description

The RECTORSEAL M61430 is a three-pole definite purpose contactor rated for 30 amps full load amperage (FLA) inductive and 40 amps resistive, with a 24-volt coil. Definite purpose contactors are designed for specific application categories rather than general motor control, making them a standard choice in HVAC systems where reliable switching of compressor and condenser fan motor loads is required. This unit replaces the obsolete 42BF35AJ and is itself superseded by part number 62430, making it a known cross-reference point for legacy system repairs. Licensed HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This contactor is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC applications, including split-system air conditioners and heat pumps where a three-pole switching configuration is required. Its 24-volt coil rating aligns with the standard low-voltage control circuit found in most forced-air cooling systems. It is commonly installed in outdoor condensing units as a direct replacement for failed or worn contactors during routine service calls or preventive maintenance.

Key Features

• Three-pole configuration for multi-load switching in HVAC condensing units
• 30 amp FLA inductive rating for compressor and motor load applications
• 40 amp resistive rating for broader load compatibility
• 24-volt coil voltage matches standard low-voltage HVAC control circuits
• Definite purpose design per Class 42 specifications
• Cross-references obsolete part 42BF35AJ; superseded by part number 62430

Compatibility

Replaces obsolete contactor 42BF35AJ. Superseded by RECTORSEAL part number 62430. Designed as an OEM-style replacement contactor for three-pole definite purpose applications in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the unit, including both the high-voltage disconnect and the low-voltage control circuit, before removing the existing contactor. Verify coil voltage, pole count, and amp rating match system requirements before installation. Follow all applicable local electrical codes and NEC guidelines when terminating load and control wiring.
