White-Rodgers 768A-842 Ignitor

The White-Rodgers 768A-842 is a professional-grade, 80V Silicon Nitride Ignitor engineered for high-durability service in residential gas furnaces. Built for precision and longevity, this Nitride Hot Surface Ignitor serves as a direct OEM replacement for Amana 768A-2 and Goodman 11111701 components. Unlike older silicon carbide models, the nitride construction offers superior structural integrity and resistance to oxidation, reducing nuisance service calls caused by premature element failure.

This technician-preferred furnace ignitor replacement features 55mm (approx. 5-inch) white Teflon-coated leads rated for 250°C, ensuring reliable performance within high-temperature burner vestibules. It comes equipped with a 2-terminal AMP receptacle with .093 female sockets for a secure, plug-and-play fit. The 768A-842 silicon nitride assembly includes a robust steatite insulator and a steel zinc-plated mounting tab designed to withstand the vibration of inducer motors without compromising the element’s positioning.

• Compatibility: Direct OEM match for Amana/Goodman furnace ignitor part numbers 768A-2 and 11111701.
• Advanced Material: Silicon Nitride construction provides a faster heat-up time and higher physical durability than carbide equivalents.
• Lead Protection: High-temp Teflon-coated leads prevent insulation degradation near the combustion chamber.
• Secure Connection: Features a factory-standard .093 female socket terminal for an airtight electrical interface.
• Mounting Hardware: Integrated zinc-plated steel tabs ensure stable alignment during high-velocity airflow cycles.

Is the 768A-842 compatible with 120V systems?
No, this is a dedicated 80V component. Installing an 80V White-Rodgers 768A-842 on a 120V ignition circuit will result in immediate element failure. Always verify secondary transformer voltage before installation.

Can I substitute a silicon carbide ignitor with this nitride model?
This part is specifically designed for silicon nitride replacement only. You must ensure the furnace control board is calibrated for the specific resistance and amperage draw of nitride technology.

Does this ignitor include the mounting bracket?
Yes, it comes with a pre-attached steel zinc-plated mounting tab for standard Amana and Goodman furnace orientations.
