Eaton 9-3242-6 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which contactor does the Eaton 9-3242-6 magnet coil fit?
It is the renewal coil for the Eaton C30 Lighting Contactor. Eaton part number 9-3242-6 (catalog model 932426). It is series-specific, so confirm the contactor in the panel is a C30 before ordering; a coil from another Eaton contactor family will not interchange.
2) My lighting contactor buzzes and won't pull in - do I replace the coil or the whole contactor?
On a C30, the coil is sold as a separate renewal part, so a contactor that chatters, hums, or fails to pull in while the control voltage is present is usually fixed by swapping the magnet coil rather than pulling the whole assembly out of the panel. That keeps the existing line and load terminations in place, which on a lighting panel is most of the labor. If the power poles or contacts are welded or badly pitted, the coil won't help.
3) Is the Eaton 9-3242-6 a genuine Eaton part or an aftermarket coil?
It is a genuine Eaton renewal part built to the original C30 component specification, not a generic replacement. For a distributor or a spec-driven MRO buyer, the ordering identity is Eaton part 9-3242-6, sold as the C30 magnet coil.
4) Do I need a different coil for a NEMA size 00, 0, or 1 starter instead of a lighting contactor?
Yes, different part. The Eaton 9-3242-6 is built for the C30 lighting contactor and nothing else. For a NEMA size 00, 0, or 1 magnetic starter, the ABB 15D2 Series replacement magnet coil covers those frames. Lighting contactors and NEMA motor starters use different coil bobbins and mounting, so the two are not interchangeable.
5) What is the difference between a NEMA size rated magnet coil and a lighting contactor magnet coil?
They are described by different things because they serve different devices. A NEMA size rated coil such as the ABB 15D2 Series replacement magnet coil is called out by the NEMA frame size of the device it drops into, Size 00/0/1. The Eaton 9-3242-6 magnet coil is called out by the contactor series and the coil circuit voltage instead: it is a C30 series part used with the C30 Lighting Contactor, wound for 240-277 Vac at 50/60 Hz. A coil described by NEMA frame size is not interchangeable with one described by contactor series, even where the control voltage happens to line up.
6) Do I have to replace the whole contactor, or can I just change the coil?
If the failure is in the coil, the coil is the serviceable part. The Eaton 9-3242-6 is a C30 series magnet coil used with the C30 Lighting Contactor, so a burned or open coil can be swapped without pulling the contactor body out of the panel. Coils are series-specific renewal parts across manufacturers - the ABB equivalent, for instance, is sold as a 15D2 Series replacement magnet coil for its own NEMA Size 00/0/1 devices rather than as a universal part. Identify the contactor series first, then match the coil to it and to the control voltage, 240-277 Vac at 50/60 Hz on the Eaton C30 coil.
