Supco SSN2000 Ignitor

As a seasoned technician, you know that silicon carbide ignitors are prone to stress fractures and oxidation; the Supco SSN2000 Silicon Nitride Ignitor is the professional-grade solution to those repeat call-backs. This 120V universal kit is engineered with high-density silicon nitride, providing a much higher physical density and thermal shock resistance than older carbide models. It serves as a universal furnace ignitor, designed to stabilize resistance over time to ensure consistent ignition cycles. The Supco SSN2000 is an exact 68030 replacement and cross-references with hundreds of OEM part numbers, including major brands like York, Trane, and Carrier. Featuring 18 AWG high-temperature fiberglass insulated leads and a rapid time-to-temperature response of less than 17 seconds, this hot surface ignitor kit includes all necessary mounting hardware and multi-fit brackets to simplify field installations. Its reliable gas ignition performance and 50,000+ cycle rating make it the standard choice for professional HVAC replacement parts in high-efficiency gas furnaces.

• Enhanced Durability: The silicon nitride element is far less brittle than carbide, significantly reducing the risk of transit damage or handling fractures during tight installations.
• Broad Compatibility: Replaces hundreds of OEM numbers and common series like the Norton 201 and 271, making it a "truck stock" essential to minimize return trips.
• Efficient Thermal Response: Reaches 2102°F in under 17 seconds at 120 VAC, ensuring the gas valve opens within the standard sequence of operation.
• Complete Hardware Kit: Includes multiple mounting brackets and ceramic wire nuts to adapt to various burner box configurations.

Can I touch the element with my bare hands?
Even though silicon nitride is more robust, we still recommend handling the part only by the ceramic base. Oils from your skin can create hot spots that degrade the material over many cycles.

Does this replace 80V ignition systems?
No, the SSN2000 is rated for 120V AC systems. Installing a 120V ignitor on an 80V control board will result in a weak or non-existent glow, failing to ignite the gas.

Is this a direct fit for the 68030?
Yes, this unit is specifically designed as the direct up-fit replacement for the 68030, offering better oxidation resistance and a longer operational life.
