Eaton C25FNF360A (42EF35AF) Contactor

  • $161.55


The Eaton C25FNF360A Definite Purpose Contactor is a legacy-grade, non-reversing 3-pole electrical component engineered for high-demand HVACR and industrial motor control. Rated for 60 Amps Inductive and 75 Amps Resistive, this F-Frame unit serves as a direct technical replacement for the Furnas 42EF35AF contactor. Designed with a 110/120V AC 50/60Hz coil, it ensures stable switching for heavy-duty compressors and motors. The open-type enclosure features a rugged metal mounting plate for secure panel installation, providing the mechanical stability required in high-vibration environments. Terminal connections consist of versatile box lugs with Pozidriv setscrews and side-by-side quick-connect terminals, facilitating efficient field wiring for contractors. With a 600VAC rating and an electrical life cycle tested for 250,000 operations, this 3-pole 60 amp contactor is built to handle the rigorous inrush currents found in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

Key Benefits
  • Universal Compatibility: The integrated metal mounting plate and F-frame footprint allow for seamless retrofitting in place of 42EF35AF and other competitive DP contactors.
  • High Amperage Capacity: Rated for a 60 FLA (Full Load Amps) inductive load, making it suitable for large commercial scroll compressors and resistive heating banks.
  • Reliable Switching: The 120V AC coil is optimized for 50/60Hz operation, reducing coil hum and preventing contact chatter in fluctuating power conditions.
  • Secure Terminations: Heavy-duty box lug terminals ensure high-torque wire retention, while auxiliary quick-connects provide easy access for control circuit wiring.
Common Questions

Is the Eaton C25FNF360A compatible with Furnas 42EF35AF?
Yes, the C25FNF360A is the industry-standard replacement for the Furnas 42EF35AF. It matches the electrical specifications and mounting dimensions required for a direct swap.

What is the difference between the inductive and resistive ratings on this contactor?
This contactor is dual-rated for 60 Amps inductive (for motor loads like compressors) and 75 Amps resistive (for heating elements), providing flexibility for diverse HVACR applications.

Does this unit include auxiliary contacts?
The base Eaton C25FNF360A is an open-frame 3-pole unit. While it includes side-by-side quick connects, additional snap-on auxiliary contact blocks can be added if your control circuit requires extra status signaling.
