White-rodgers 90 244S1 Definite Purpose Contactor 2 Pole

Product Description

The WHITE-RODGERS 90 244S1 is a definite purpose contactor designed to switch electrical loads in HVAC and refrigeration equipment. Definite purpose contactors are built for specific, repetitive switching applications such as compressor and condenser fan motor control in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. This 2-pole contactor handles the high-cycle demands common in residential and light commercial HVAC installations. Licensed HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics are the primary installers. The unit weighs 0.7 pounds, making it a compact, direct-replacement component suited for panel or chassis mounting inside condensing units and packaged equipment.

This contactor is typically installed in residential and light commercial air conditioning condensing units, heat pumps, and refrigeration equipment where reliable load switching is required. It is well suited for compressor starting and fan motor control circuits. The 2-pole configuration is the most common format found in single-phase residential AC equipment. Technicians replacing failed or burned contacts will find this a straightforward swap in standard definite purpose contactor footprints.

Key Features

• 2-pole configuration for single-phase compressor and fan motor switching
• Definite purpose design rated for high-cycle HVAC and refrigeration duty

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified electrician. Always disconnect and lock out power to the condensing unit or equipment before removing the existing contactor or handling line-voltage terminals. Verify coil voltage and load ratings match system requirements before wiring. Work must comply with applicable NEC requirements and local electrical codes.
