Bard part number 8401-026 is an OEM 1 pole 25 amp contactor with a built in 5 minute time delay, used in Bard wall mounted air conditioners and related packaged units to switch the compressor circuit on a low voltage call while helping prevent rapid short cycling after a shutdown. When a contactor is pitted, chattering, or failing to pull in consistently, replacing it with the correct Bard OEM contactor helps restore dependable compressor engagement and protects other electrical components from nuisance starts and stops. Match ratings and wiring to your unit wiring diagram and verify coil voltage and terminal style before ordering to ensure proper fit and safe operation.
