💡 Packard C240A Contactor - Optimized for Voltage Applications Review

Revain is Beautiful! Ordered this morning for same day delivery. At 4:30 am I checked my "Order Status" and saw an interactive map with a truck driving through my area and a few minutes later a picture of a package appeared at my door. The AC contactor was easy to install (took less than an hour). Although the new part is slightly different from the original part, the mounting base fits. The wiring of the new contactor looked a little different (the contacts were vertical, not horizontal), it…
