Product Details
The Thermo King Contactor N.O. Ctr 3040305 is a normally-open electrical contactor intended for Thermo King transport refrigeration systems. This component performs the essential role of switching power within temperature-regulation circuits, supporting compressors, fan motors, and ancillary devices. For model-level compatibility and recommended installation procedures, contact West Texas Thermo King for verification and part lookup based on unit serial numbers.
Efficiency & Sustainability
This contactor supports fuel-efficient cooling strategies by maintaining precise electrical control within Thermo King systems, including operations that integrate Diesel Direct Electric and Smart Reefer SR-4 technologies. Reliable switching reduces electrical losses from intermittent faults and helps maintain CARB Evergreen and fleet emissions objectives through consistent system behavior and reduced unnecessary runtime.
Installation & Maintenance Tips
Install using manufacturer-recommended torque values and OEM-grade connectors to ensure secure electrical connections. Inspect contact surfaces and coil insulation during routine service intervals and verify mounting hardware for corrosion or looseness. Replace contactors during scheduled preventive maintenance if electrical wear or contact pitting appears, and always follow Thermo King wiring diagrams for correct circuit placement.
Real-World Applications
The Thermo King Contactor N.O. Ctr 3040305 is ideal for reefer trailers, refrigerated straight trucks, and auxiliary refrigeration units used in regional and long-haul transport. Fleet operators in hot, dusty, and high-vibration environments rely on this component to preserve temperature control and cargo integrity across routes through the Permian Basin and West Texas corridors.
Available for installation and service in Amarillo, Lubbock, Odessa, and throughout West Texas.
