Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the electrical specifications for the AN 250 contact kit?
A: The AN 250 is an Anderson SB350 4/0 contact kit with silver-plated copper contacts rated for 350A continuous current at 600V AC/DC. It accommodates 4/0 AWG wire and is designed for 10,000 mating cycles minimum.
Q: What is the OEM cross-reference for the AN 250?
A: The AN 250 cross-references to Linde LIAN250. It is equivalent to the Anderson SB350 4/0 contact set and serves as a direct OEM replacement for electric lift truck battery connector systems in Linde and compatible equipment.
Q: Is the AN 250 contact kit compatible with different wire gauges?
A: The AN 250 is specifically rated for 4/0 AWG wire. Do not use this contact set with different wire gauges as improper sizing creates connection resistance, voltage drop, and potential arcing hazards.
Q: Why are silver-plated copper contacts used in the AN 250?
A: Silver plating provides superior electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance compared to bare copper. This reduces contact resistance, minimizes voltage drop across the connection, and extends service life in high-current battery applications.
Q: How does the AN 250 perform in cold storage and wet environments?
A: Silver-plated contacts resist oxidation and moisture better than bare copper, making the AN 250 suitable for cold storage, wet, and corrosive environments typical in electric lift truck operations. However, verify your specific operational conditions match the 600V AC/DC rating.
Q: Which lift truck brands use the AN 250 or LIAN250?
A: The AN 250 is compatible with Linde electric lift trucks and other OEM brands that use 350A 4/0 contact kits, including Crown, Toyota, and Raymond models. Verify your equipment documentation before ordering.
