York S1-024-32004-000 Contactor
For service calls involving intermittent compressor cycling or failed start-ups in York equipment, the York S1-024-32004-000 Contactor is a direct OEM replacement engineered to handle high-demand cycles. Designed with a 24v coil and a 2-pole 40AMP configuration, this contactor provides the necessary switching capacity for residential and light commercial condensing units. As an inductive load specialist, it features normally open (NO) contacts that ensure efficient arc suppression and reduced pitting, extending the service life of both the contactor and the compressor under heavy startup loads.
Replacing a chatter-prone or pitted HVAC contactor with this genuine York replacement part ensures full compatibility with the 6806-842 series and various BACB, DBUC, and DCHB models. Technical specs confirm a 30A-40A current rating, making it robust enough for modern high-efficiency systems where precise coil engagement is critical to prevent voltage drops. The silver-cadmium oxide contact points are specifically built to withstand the rigorous inrush currents typical of large hermetic compressors, preventing the accidental welding of contacts that leads to system freeze-ups.
Key Benefits- 2-Pole Configuration: Breaks both lines of a single-phase circuit for increased safety during maintenance and consistent power delivery.
- 40AMP Inductive Rating: Provides a high overhead for compressor contactor applications, reducing heat buildup and contact wear.
- OEM Compatibility: This S1-024-32004-000 model is a direct drop-in for York, Luxaire, and Coleman units, ensuring screw holes and terminals align perfectly.
- Durable 24V Coil: Engineered for tight pull-in voltage tolerances, minimizing the risk of coil burnout due to low-voltage "chatter" from the transformer.
Is this contactor compatible with other 2-pole 30A or 40A units?
Yes, while designed for York S1-024-32004-000 specifications, it can be used as a high-quality replacement for any 2P 40AMP contactor with a 24v coil, provided the physical footprint fits the mounting bracket.
Why is my current contactor humming or chattering?
Humming often indicates debris between the armature and the coil, or a drop in the 24V control signal. If the contacts show significant carbon buildup or pitting, a full replacement with this 40A contactor is recommended to prevent compressor failure.
Can I use a 40A contactor to replace a 30A contactor?
Absolutely. Increasing the amperage rating provides a more robust switching surface and better heat dissipation, which is a common "pro-tip" to increase reliability in high-cycle environments.
