When a contactor fails, the panel doesn't care about brand loyalty-it cares about matching the coil voltage, pole count, and current rating. The Packard 1 Pole 30 Amp 24V Contactor PR4013 is designed for that exact situation: a single-pole contactor with a 30-amp inductive rating and a 24-volt coil, positioned as a replacement for the Honeywell DP1030A5013.
Packard 1 Pole 30 Amp 24V Contactor Pr4013
Quick verdict: If you need a one-pole contactor that handles 30 amps inductive and runs on a 24V coil, the Packard PR4013 is a solid match. It carries a 40-amp resistive rating, spade terminals, and a coil with Class B insulation. At $27.59, it's a straightforward fix for a specific configuration.
Who it suits: This contactor suits anyone replacing a Honeywell DP1030A5013 or working on industrial control equipment that falls under UL Bulletin No. 508, rated up to 600 VAC. It also fits buyers who already know they need one pole and 24V control, so there's no guesswork about compatibility.
What stands out from the listed details: The PR4013 is rated for 30 full-load inductive amps and 40 resistive amps, which is a useful split if your load is inductive, like a motor or solenoid. The 24V coil is common in control circuits, and the Class B insulation is a plus for coil longevity. Spade terminals simplify wiring. The unit weighs 0.5 pounds and is constructed from metal and plastic, so it's compact enough for tight panels.
Meaningful trade-offs: The biggest trade-off is the 1-pole design. Many appliances and light commercial systems use a 2-pole contactor to break both lines, and the PR4013 is not that part-it's a single-pole device. The coil voltage is fixed at 24V, so it won't help if your control voltage is 120V or 208V. The replacement path is tied to the Honeywell DP1030A5013, which is a common reference point in this category. The country of origin is China, which may matter to some buyers.
Bottom line: The Packard PR4013 does one thing clearly: it replaces a specific single-pole, 30-amp, 24V coil contactor. If that's what your system calls for, its specs are direct, the price is reasonable, and the replacement path is clearly defined. If your existing unit is a 2-pole or uses a different coil voltage, this isn't the component to force into place.
