Titus HVAC 10054401 Contactor

The Titus HVAC 10054401 Contactor is a field-ready, 2-pole definite purpose contactor engineered for consistent inductive load switching in residential and light commercial HVACR systems. This heavy-duty component is rated for 20 Amps and utilizes a 24V AC coil, making it a critical control point for high-draw hardware such as compressors, condenser fan motors, and electric heat circuits. Built to handle the standard 50/60 Hz frequency, this contactor ensures arcless engagement and reliable circuit isolation under demanding thermal conditions.

As a professional-grade OEM replacement contactor, the 10054401 is the direct technical successor to legacy models 3100-10Q134 and 3100-20Q334. It also serves as a compatible field alternative for the R8242B1006, offering a compact footprint and standard mounting bracket configurations for fast integration into existing control panels. The silver cadmium oxide contacts are designed to minimize pitting, extending the operational life of the unit and preventing premature failure of the motor or compressor it serves.

Key Technical Benefits:

• Broad Compatibility: Direct replacement for Titus HVAC parts and cross-referenced to popular 3100 series contactors.
• Reliable Switching: Features a high-performance 24V coil for stable pull-in voltage and secure contact seating.
• Enhanced Durability: Robust 20A inductive rating handles the high inrush currents typical of AC compressor startup.
• Technician-Focused Design: Standard screw-style terminals and 1/4-inch quick-connects facilitate straightforward wiring in the field.

Common Contractor Questions:

What equipment is this 2-pole contactor compatible with?
This unit is widely used in air conditioning condensers, heat pump systems, and refrigeration units. It is specifically designed to replace Titus 10054401, 3100-10Q134, and 3100-20Q334 models. Always check the FLA (Full Load Amps) and LRA (Locked Rotor Amps) on the nameplate to ensure 20A is sufficient for your motor load.

Can I use this to replace a 1-pole contactor?
Yes, in many 24V control circuits, a 2-pole contactor can replace a 1-pole unit to provide total circuit isolation by breaking both "hot" legs of the power supply, which is often preferred for safety during maintenance.

Does this contactor support 50/60 Hz operations?
Yes, the 24V AC coil is rated for both 50Hz and 60Hz frequencies, allowing for standard operation across various regional power grids without coil hum or chatter.
