Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between BR 8268-000 and the older BR 8268?
A: The BR 8268-000 is the current production replacement for BR 8268. Both are rated for 175 amps and 1/0 AWG cable, but BR 8268-000 incorporates improved contact materials and housing design. All three cross-reference numbers (BR8268, BR8268000, 8268000) refer to equivalent or superseded versions. Use BR 8268-000 for new replacements.
Q: Which Barrett pallet jack models use the BR 8268-000 connector?
A: The BR 8268-000 is designed for Barrett electric pallet jacks, specifically the WRPN 60/80 model (alternate designation WRPN60/80). Verify your equipment model nameplate to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Q: What is the maximum voltage rating for the BR 8268-000?
A: The BR 8268-000 is rated for up to 600VDC maximum. However, most electric pallet jacks and lift trucks operate at 24V, 36V, or 48V systems. Confirm your equipment voltage before installation.
Q: What contact material does the BR 8268-000 use?
A: The BR 8268-000 features silver-plated copper contacts designed for low electrical resistance and reliable power transmission. Silver plating protects the underlying copper from oxidation and corrosion, extending connector lifespan in warehouse environments.
Q: Does the BR 8268-000 have a locking mechanism?
A: Yes. The BR 8268-000 includes a locking mechanism that prevents accidental disconnection of the battery power connector during truck operation. The genderless design allows connection in either orientation while the locking feature ensures stable contact under vibration.
Q: What cross-reference and equivalent part numbers exist for BR 8268-000?
A: The BR 8268-000 has cross-reference numbers BR8268, BR8268000, and 8268000. These all refer to the same connector specification. When ordering parts or researching inventory, use the exact SKU BR 8268-000 to avoid confusion with superseded versions.
