Enviro-tec PE-05-2301 Contactor

The Enviro-tec PE-05-2301 is a high-duty 2-pole magnetic contactor engineered for precise load switching in HVACR equipment. Designed with a 24V AC control coil, this component manages electrical circuits by establishing and breaking connections to motors, compressors, and fans within VAV boxes and air handlers. With a 20-amp inductive rating and a 30-amp resistive capacity, the PE-05-2301 provides a reliable interface between low-voltage thermostats and high-voltage power supplies. The dual-pole configuration ensures a complete break of the circuit path, which is critical for safety and operational integrity in commercial environments. Built for high-cycle longevity, this DP contactor features silver-cadmium oxide contacts to minimize arcing and pitting. When replacing a definite purpose contactor, ensure the FLA (Full Load Amps) and LRA (Locked Rotor Amps) align with your system's compressor or blower motor requirements to prevent premature coil failure or contact welding.

• Voltage Compatibility: Optimized for standard 24V control circuits, ensuring compatibility with most commercial transformer outputs.
• Load Handling: 20A FLA / 30A Resisitive rating provides ample overhead for medium-duty motor loads.
• Terminal Configuration: Features standard lug and spade terminals for rapid field wiring and secure mechanical connections.
• Compact Footprint: Designed for standard mounting patterns found in Enviro-tec and third-party control enclosures.
• Reliable Switching: Double pole single throw (DPST) action ensures isolated circuit control.

Can the PE-05-2301 replace a single-pole contactor in a 240V system?
Yes, as a 2-pole contactor, the PE-05-2301 offers a more complete circuit break than a single-pole unit, making it a safer and more robust replacement provided the amperage and coil voltage match.

What are the symptoms of a failing HVAC contactor?
Technicians should look for pitted or "welded" contacts, audible humming from the 24V coil, or a lack of continuity across the poles when the coil is energized.

Is this contactor compatible with VAV reheat coils?
Yes, this Enviro-tec part is frequently utilized to control electric reheat stages in VAV terminals where a 24V magnetic contactor is required.
