Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BA GEC12A contact used for?
A: The BA GEC12A is an electrical contact assembly for Baldwin electric lift truck charger or controller circuits. It makes or breaks electrical connections in charging or motor control circuits. It must be matched to the correct voltage and amperage rating for your equipment.
Q: What is the voltage and amperage rating for this contact?
A: The exact electrical specifications are in the part documentation. Typical ratings for Baldwin contacts range from 12V to 48V DC and from 10A to 100A depending on the specific model. Contact us with your charger or controller model and serial range to confirm the correct voltage and current rating.
Q: What material are the contact surfaces made from?
A: Baldwin electrical contacts are typically made from silver alloy or copper alloy for low resistance and durability. The exact composition affects corrosion resistance and arc suppression. Contact us if you need material specifications for technical certification or equipment compliance.
Q: How do I know if the BA GEC12A contact is failing?
A: Symptoms include intermittent charging, charger not connecting, visible pitting or erosion on contact surfaces, or excessive heat. If charging stops unexpectedly or the charger connector feels hot, the contact may be deteriorating. Do not attempt to clean or repair; replace the contact assembly.
Q: Is this contact compatible with non-Baldwin chargers?
A: The BA GEC12A is designed for Baldwin equipment. Do not assume compatibility with other charger or controller brands. Contact us with your charger model and connector type to verify fitment before ordering.
