White-Rodgers 30A46-5 Pilot Sensor

The White-Rodgers 30A46-5 Pilot Sensor is a critical replacement component for gas-fired heating systems utilizing intermittent pilot ignition. Specifically engineered for compatibility with Cush Pwr systems, this sensor features a 42-inch lead wire with a secure plug-in connection, ensuring reliable flame rectification and signal feedback to the ignition module. Designed to withstand high-temperature environments, the 30A46-5 monitors the pilot flame continuously, preventing gas valve operation if the flame is not detected. This HVAC pilot sensor is built for precise flame sensing performance, reducing nuisance lockouts and ensuring consistent system operation. When replacing a gas furnace pilot sensor, verify the lead length and terminal style matches the existing White-Rodgers ignition setup. Professional calibration of the burner assembly is recommended following the installation of any OEM pilot sensor to maintain peak efficiency and safety across the heating season.

• 42-inch plug-in lead provides ample length for various mounting configurations within the burner box.
• Specifically designed for Cush Pwr pilot assemblies to maintain OEM specifications.
• High-grade flame sensing rod construction ensures longevity in high-heat zones.
• Direct White-Rodgers replacement simplifies installation for field technicians.
• Reliable flame rectification signal prevents ignition delays and system lockout errors.

Is the White-Rodgers 30A46-5 compatible with all intermittent pilot systems?
This specific sensor is designed for Cush Pwr systems requiring a 42-inch plug-in lead. Always verify the connector type on your control module before installation.

What causes a pilot sensor to fail in these systems?
Carbon buildup or oxidation on the probe rod often interrupts the microamp signal. While cleaning can provide a temporary fix, replacing the pilot sensor is the standard best practice for long-term reliability.

Can I use this sensor on a standing pilot furnace?
No, this is an electronic flame sensor for intermittent ignition systems and is not a replacement for a thermocouple used in standing pilot applications.
