49012

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is SKU 49012 and how does it differ from similar connector SKUs?
A: SKU 49012 is an SB50 #6 gray connector for electric lift truck and pallet jack harnesses. Like 49010, it provides high-current connectivity in 24V to 48V DC systems. Verify your equipment manual or wiring diagram to confirm whether 49010 or 49012 is the correct replacement for your specific model and circuit application.

Q: What amperage and voltage range does 49012 support?
A: 49012 is rated for approximately 50 amps per contact and operates across 24V, 36V, and 48V DC systems used in Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and similar electric material handling equipment. The #6 gauge terminal size supports the high-current demands of motor circuits, battery interconnects, and charger interfaces.

Q: Can 49012 be used interchangeably with 49010?
A: Both 49010 and 49012 are Anderson SB50 #6 gray connectors with the same physical dimensions and electrical ratings. They may be interchangeable depending on your equipment specification. However, always verify with your equipment manual or parts diagram before substituting one for the other to ensure correct circuit function and safety.

Q: What maintenance extends the service life of 49012 connectors?
A: Keep connectors clean and dry by storing equipment indoors when not in use. Apply dielectric grease to exposed contacts every 12 months to prevent corrosion and moisture ingress. Inspect for pitting, discoloration, or loose connections quarterly. Replace corroded or damaged connectors immediately to prevent voltage drop, arcing, or system failure.

Q: What is the typical lifespan of 49012 in warehouse or outdoor use?
A: With proper maintenance and storage, 49012 connectors last 5 to 10 years. However, frequent connect-disconnect cycles, washdown environments, or outdoor storage can reduce lifespan to 2 to 3 years due to oxidation and corrosion. Replace immediately if you observe intermittent connection loss, arcing, or visible corrosion on terminals.
