White-rodgers 90 248S1 Definite Purpose Contactor 2 Pole

Product Description

The WHITE-RODGERS 90 248S1 is a 2-pole definite purpose contactor designed for switching electrical loads in HVAC and refrigeration equipment. Definite purpose contactors are purpose-built switching devices rated for specific load types, such as compressor motors, fan motors, and electric heating circuits. The 2-pole configuration controls two lines simultaneously, making it a standard fit for single-phase compressor applications. Licensed HVAC technicians and refrigeration service professionals install this component as part of routine maintenance or compressor circuit repairs.

This contactor is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC systems, including split-system air conditioners, heat pumps, and refrigeration equipment where a 2-pole definite purpose contactor is specified. It fits into condensing unit control panels and equipment enclosures as a direct replacement when the existing contactor shows signs of pitted contacts, coil failure, or welding. The compact form factor supports installation in standard contactor mounting positions found in most condensing units.

Key Features

• 2-pole configuration for single-phase compressor and motor load switching
• Definite purpose rated for HVAC and refrigeration duty cycles
• Designed as a direct OEM-style replacement contactor

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified electrician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the unit before removing the existing contactor or handling any line-voltage wiring. Follow NEC guidelines for field wiring connections and verify the replacement contactor ratings match the load requirements of the equipment. Inspect the control circuit and coil voltage specifications before energizing the system after installation.
