I need to replace a single pole contactor on a Carrier heat pump.
Though I find single pole contactors with equivalent electrical specs, I also find a 300%+ variation in cost.
The contactor that actually has one of the two Carrier Brand numbers on it is the highest priced.
Is this a case of OEM versus aftermarket manufacturer or is there an aspect of the contactor required spec I am missing?

Thank you
