Choosing a replacement contactor for an air conditioner or motor control usually comes down to three numbers: coil voltage, pole count, and current rating. Every contactor in this lineup runs on a 24V coil, so the real decision is how many poles you need and how many amps the load draws. Listed prices in this group start at $18.35 and top out at $23.99, with pole counts from 1 to 2 and current ratings from 30A to 40A.
Quick take
One way to shortlist: if the old part is a 1-pole/30A contactor, the Packard C130A is the direct match in this set. Need two poles and 40A? The Migro DP contactor brings that spec together with heavy lug screws and standard quick-connect terminals. Looking for a 2-pole/30A condenser contactor? The CGELE model covers that spec with silver-alloy contacts and a flame-retardant housing. And if a 1-pole/40A part is the requirement, the open-box single-pole contactor fills that slot.

Product notes
Definite Purpose Contactor, 1 Pole, 30 Amps, 24 Coil Voltage, C130A
The Packard C130A is a 1-pole definite purpose contactor rated 30 FLA and 40 RES with a 24V coil. Its compatibility list includes central air conditioners, split systems, dual fuel split systems, and heat pump split systems. The terminal package includes lug, spade terminals, and protective covers, which makes this a useful one-box replacement for HVAC contactor swaps. On the tradeoff side, this is a 1-pole/30A unit, so if your system requires a 2-pole contactor or a 40A single-pole, you will need to look at the other units in this set. The coil is rated 50/60 Hz and the contactor is designed for devices up to 600 VAC.
Dp Contactor 2 Pole 40 Amp 24V Coil HVAC 50A 40A 30A AC Motor Air Conditioner UL
This Migro 2-pole contactor carries a 40A rating in the title and a 50A FLA callout, with heavy lug screws and four male 1/4-inch quick-connect terminals. It is described as a fully enclosed replacement for Carrier, Bryant, Day & Night, and Payne single-pole contactors rated at 40A or 30A with 24V coils. The 24V coil and 2-pole layout make it a fit for HVAC and motor control panels where a single-pole part needs to be replaced by a two-pole unit. The tradeoff: the drop-in wording points at Carrier and related brands, and the higher FLA callout means the amp rating deserves a quick check against your current contactor before you commit.
2 Pole Air Conditioner Contactor 30 Amp 24V Coil,Condenser Contactor Compressor
The CGELE contactor is a 2-pole unit rated 30A full-load and 40A resistive with a 24VAC coil. It features a flame-retardant housing, silver-alloy contacts, and all-copper terminals, which are relevant considerations for compressor cycling. It is rated for devices up to 600VAC and uses spade-type terminals plus base screw holes for mounting. The tradeoff is that this unit maxes out at 30A FLA, so it is not the choice if your condenser or compressor contactor is rated 40A. The fit decision rests on matching the pole count and amp rating to your equipment.
1 Pole 40 Amp 24 VAC Coil AC Contactor 1P 40A 24V 50/60Hz AC Motor Contactor Rep
This 1-pole contactor covers the 40A single-pole slot in this comparison. It is rated 40A at 24VAC and designed for AC motor control, with a single-phase layout, copper material, and a black finish. Condition is New - Open box; the box was opened for photos and the part remained wrapped. That means you are weighing an open-box presentation against a 40A single-pole rating that the other 1-pole unit in this set does not match. If the 40A/1P spec fits your equipment and open-box presentation is acceptable, this contactor fills the gap.
Final recommendation by use case
For a 1-pole/30A HVAC swap with terminal hardware already part of the package, the Packard C130A is the straightforward pick. If 2-pole/40A is the spec, the Migro DP contactor covers it. For 2-pole/30A compressor duty, the CGELE unit with silver-alloy contacts is the match. And if you need 1-pole/40A and do not mind a New - Open box part, the 40A single-pole contactor is the fit.
