Eaton Cutler-Hammer C25BNB225T Contactor

The Eaton Cutler-Hammer C25BNB225T is a professional-grade DP contactor designed for the rigorous demands of HVACR and industrial mechanical systems. This 2-pole definite purpose contactor is rated for 25 amps inductive and 35 amps resistive, making it a reliable choice for motor control and resistive heating loads. The unit features a 24VAC 50/60Hz coil, which is the standard control voltage for most residential and commercial climate control circuits. Built with an open-type enclosure and a robust metal mounting plate, this compact frame facilitates easy installation inside air handlers, condensers, or refrigeration racking. This non-reversing contactor incorporates large, durable contact surfaces to minimize arcing and extend the service life of the power switching component. When replacing a failed 25A HVAC contactor, the C25BNB225T offers a direct-fit solution that maintains the integrity of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications for single-phase systems.

Key Benefits:

• Universal HVAC Compatibility: Standard 2-pole design fits most air conditioning and refrigeration equipment requiring a 24V coil contactor.
• High Durability: Metal base plate and heavy-duty 25 amp inductive rating ensure performance under high-cycling demands.
• Compact Footprint: Designed for space-constrained electrical panels and control boxes within HVAC units.
• Efficient Coil Operation: Optimized 24V coil reduces chatter and minimizes power consumption in the control circuit.

Common Questions:

Can the C25BNB225T replace a 30-amp contactor? No, you should never downsize current ratings. This is a 25A inductive rated part; if your load requires more amperage, you must use a higher-rated unit to prevent contact welding.

Is the coil dual-rated for 50 or 60 Hz? Yes, the Eaton C25BNB225T operates efficiently on both 50Hz and 60Hz frequencies, making it versatile for localized power grids.

What is the difference between this and a 1-pole contactor? This 2-pole contactor breaks both legs of the power supply, whereas a 1-pole unit always keeps one leg energized (hot).
