It will. Tell them it is for an IAD 4008, and they will have a reference. There are usually two choices, one with a wire and one with a flat copper strip. Get the one with the wire.

Me not John, Me Joe. :wink:
Have you learned to remove the breaker plate when servicing the water proof distributors, even better, to remove it as a unit when servicing it?
