Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BJ 005659 and what voltage rating does it use?
A: The BJ 005659 is a contactor assembly rated for 24 volt operation. This 24VDC rating distinguishes it from the 12VDC units such as the BJ 005656 and BJ 005658. It is designed for Big Joe electric lift trucks and pallet jack models that operate on 24 volt electrical systems rather than 12 volt systems. Voltage compatibility is critical; using a 24V contactor on a 12V system or vice versa will result in failure or no operation.
Q: Which Big Joe electric pallet jacks and lift trucks use 24VDC contactors like the BJ 005659?
A: The BJ 005659 is used in Big Joe electric lift trucks and pallet jacks equipped with 24 volt electrical systems. Before ordering, verify your truck uses 24VDC by checking the battery voltage specification on the equipment nameplate or in the maintenance documentation. Models with 24V systems use this contactor, while 12V models require contactors like the BJ 005656 or BJ 005658.
Q: Is there documentation on the specific circuit function of the BJ 005659?
A: The BJ 005659 is cataloged as a contactor assembly for 24 volt Big Joe equipment, but detailed specifications regarding whether it controls main traction, speed circuits, or braking functions are not available in current data. Contact our technical team with your equipment model and serial number to confirm the exact application and whether this is the correct replacement for your truck.
Q: What are the consequences of installing a 24V contactor on a 12V system?
A: Installing a 24V contactor on a 12V truck will not provide sufficient coil voltage to engage the contactor electromagnet, resulting in no electrical contact closure and complete loss of the circuit function it controls. The device will not operate. Conversely, installing a 12V contactor on a 24V system may cause coil overheating and rapid failure. Always match the contactor voltage to your trucks system voltage.
