Carrier HN61PC004 Relay
The Carrier HN61PC004 Relay is a heavy-duty DPST Relay (Double Pole Single Throw) engineered for precise control over high-voltage fan motors and resistive heating elements in Carrier, Bryant, and Payne equipment. Rated for 240V and up to 14A, this OEM Carrier replacement relay ensures electrical separation between control and load circuits, making it a critical component for restoring furnace fan operation or condenser fan cycles. As a specialized HVAC motor relay, it features a 24V coil compatible with standard residential control transformers. When troubleshooting a furnace fan not turning on or a condenser that fails to engage despite a signal from the board, this DPST power relay provides the reliable mechanical switching needed to handle inductive start-up loads without premature contact pitting. Its compact footprint allows for direct mounting within the existing control box, maintaining Carrier HVAC parts compatibility and system efficiency.
Key Benefits- DPST Configuration: Effectively manages two separate circuits simultaneously with a single 24V pulse for streamlined motor control.
- OEM Precision: Guaranteed 14A rated capacity at 240V specifically mapped to Carrier airflow and cooling specifications.
- Enhanced Reliability: Heavy-duty contact design minimizes arcing, a common failure point in universal aftermarket relays.
- Direct Fit: Seamlessly replaces legacy HN61PC004 units, reducing labor time during emergency callouts.
Is the HN61PC004 a direct replacement for single-pole relays?
This is a Double Pole Single Throw relay. While it can often replace a SPST relay by utilizing only one set of contacts, always verify the wiring diagram to ensure the 24V coil and 240V load requirements are met.
Will this fix a situation where the fan runs continuously?
If the relay contacts have fused closed due to an overcurrent event, replacing it with this OEM HVAC relay will restore proper thermostat-controlled cycling.
Can I use this for non-Carrier equipment?
While designed as a Carrier part, this relay functions in any application requiring a 24V coil to switch a 240V DPST load, provided the amperage does not exceed 14A.
