Replacing contactor on A/C unit?

Question

The new cantactor we bought looks slightly different from the existing one. The new one has a set of prongs on either side of the box where the existing has both sets on the same side. Haw do we connect the wires?

Answer 1

It is difficult to be sure without seeing the part..(my disclaimer) however the replacement part may well have the spade connections in a slightly different configuration. Make sure that there is adequate clearance for wires so they are not touching any cabinet parts.
