York 031-00808-000 Suppressor

Maintain the integrity of your control circuits with the York 031-00808-000 Suppressor. This genuine OEM RC network is engineered to mitigate the high-voltage transients—often referred to as inductive kickback—that occur when 120VAC contactor coils or inductive loads are de-energized. By snubbing these voltage spikes, the 031-00808-000 prevents arc-over at the switching contacts and shields sensitive solid-state relays and PLC output modules from premature failure and electromagnetic interference (EMI).

The 031-00808-000 features a 0.1 MFD capacitance and 100 OHM resistance rating, optimized for peak performance in York residential and commercial equipment. Rated for 600 VDC and 0.5 Watts, this snubber ensures consistent clamping levels across a wide temperature range. With 6.75-inch lead wires, it allows for clean, parallel integration directly at the source of the transient, ensuring that electrical noise does not propagate through the control wiring and disrupt microprocessor-based components.

Key Performance Benefits

• Precision Transient Clamping: Uses a matched resistor-capacitor network to absorb energy from collapsing magnetic fields in 120V inductive loads.
• OEM Reliability: Built to York’s factory-authorized specifications for exact impedance matching and electrical stability.
• Enhanced Component Longevity: Reduces contact pitting and prevents "false triggering" or resets in sensitive control boards.
• Direct Fit Installation: Flexible lead lengths accommodate standard control cabinet layouts and terminal block configurations.
• Industrial-Grade Construction: Encapsulated design handles the vibration and thermal cycling common in light commercial HVAC applications.

Common Questions

Can this suppressor be used on 24V control circuits?
While rated for 600VDC, this specific RC network is optimized for 120VAC contactor coils. For 24V secondary circuits, always verify that the resistance and capacitance values align with the lower voltage system's suppression requirements.

Where is the best location to install the 031-00808-000?
For maximum effectiveness, the suppressor should be wired in parallel as close to the load (e.g., the contactor coil or solenoid) as possible to minimize the loop area of the transient current.

How do I know if my existing suppressor has failed?
Technicians should look for visible swelling of the component or logic errors in the controller that only occur during the de-energization cycle of the inductive load. If the resistance across the leads deviates significantly from the 100-ohm spec, it is time for a replacement.
