Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does a contact kit do in an electric lift truck contactor?
A: A contact kit replaces the wearing electrical contacts in a solenoid-operated contactor. These contacts make and break the electrical circuit that controls motor power to the lift truck. When contacts become pitted or burnt from arcing, they cause intermittent power loss or poor control response.

Q: Which electric lift truck models use contact kit 97108-02400?
A: The 97108-02400 is an OEM replacement part for select electric lift truck contactor assemblies. Verify your contactor manufacturer and model number match this part specification before ordering, as contactors vary by truck brand and electrical system voltage.

Q: What material are the contact surfaces made from?
A: The contact kit features precision-machined copper alloy base material with silver alloy contact faces. This material combination provides excellent electrical conductivity and durability through repeated make-break cycles under load.

Q: What is the hardness specification for this contact kit?
A: The contact faces have a minimum hardness rating of Rockwell B80. This hardness specification ensures the contacts resist pitting and erosion from the electrical arcing that occurs during normal contactor switching cycles.

Q: Are there any cross-reference part numbers for 97108-02400?
A: No cross-reference part numbers are available for this contact kit. When ordering a replacement, use the exact OEM part number 97108-02400 and verify it matches your contactor assembly model to ensure correct fit and electrical compatibility.
