When a 30-amp, 24-volt contactor fails in your AC compressor or condenser unit, the replacement decision comes down to two questions: how many poles do you need, and how close is the match to your existing part? The Packard Pr4013 is a single-pole contactor that names a Honeywell DP1030A5013 replacement path. The 2 Pole 30 Amp 24 VAC Coil AC contactor switches two poles and carries the lower listed price of the two. Both are rated for 30A and 24 VAC coils, but pole count and listed price separate them.
Quick verdict
Pick the Packard if your system is single-pole and you want the specificity of a Honeywell DP1030A5013 cross-reference. Pick the 2-pole model if you need to switch both poles of a 240V feed and prefer the lower listed price.
At a glance
| Detail | Packard 1-Pole 30A 24V | 2-Pole 30A 24V AC Contactor |
|---|---|---|
| Listed price | USD 27.59 | USD 22.99 |
| Poles | 1 | 2 |
| Coil | 24 VAC | 24 VAC |
| Notable points | Spade terminals; class B insulation; Honeywell DP1030A5013 cross-reference | Copper coil and terminals; flame-retardant shell; -40C to +65C temperature range |
Where the Packard wins
The Packard is the more specific replacement for a single-pole contactor install. It includes spade terminals, class B insulation, and the stated cross-reference to Honeywell DP1030A5013, so if that is the exact model you are taking out, you have a direct match. It also references UL Bulletin No. 508 for industrial control equipment rated up to 600 VAC.
Where the 2-pole wins
The 2-pole contactor lists for USD 22.99, which is $4.60 less than the Packard, while giving you two switched poles. It uses copper contacts and a pure copper coil for conductivity, adds a flame-retardant shell, and specifies a -40C to +65C operating temperature range. The description also says it works as a direct replacement without wiring or adapter changes for standard AC contactor applications.
Product notes
Packard 1 Pole 30 Amp 24V Contactor Pr4013
Choose this one when you're replacing a single-pole 30A 24V contactor and you want the direct Honeywell DP1030A5013 cross-reference that the Packard description calls out. It uses spade terminals and class B insulation, and it is presented as meeting UL Bulletin No. 508 specifications for industrial control equipment up to 600 VAC. That cross-reference can be the deciding factor if your existing part is a Honeywell DP1030A5013 or a compatible single-pole unit. The caveat is pole count: with one pole, it will not switch a second leg or neutral, so it's not the right fit if your circuit requires two-pole interruption.
2 Pole 30 Amp 24 VAC Coil AC Contactor
The two-pole option is ideal if you need to switch both sides of the line. It lists for USD 22.99, which is $4.60 less than the Packard. The description emphasizes pure copper coil and copper terminal contacts for better conductivity plus a flame-retardant shell, and it specifies a -40C to +65C operating range. It is also described as a direct replacement that requires no wiring or adapter changes for standard AC contactor applications. The trade-off is the replacement path: it is presented as a universal replacement for 'ANY BRAND' rather than a specific OEM cross-reference, so it does not carry a model-number match like the Honeywell reference on the Packard.
Final choice by use case
- Single-pole replacement, known Honeywell setup: Packard Pr4013.
- Two-pole switching, lower listed price: 2 Pole 30A 24V AC Contactor.
Both contactors share the same core 30A, 24V coil specs, and both are intended for 600 VAC-class equipment. The real tiebreaker is whether you need one pole or two, and whether the specific replacement path matters more than the $4.60 price gap between them.
