Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the electrical specifications for the CL 912365 contactor?
A: The CL 912365 is rated for 150 amperes at 24 volts DC. This contactor is designed for switching main power circuits in electric lift truck control systems. Verify your equipment schematic calls for 150A/24V before ordering.
Q: Which lift truck brands use the CL 912365 contactor?
A: This Clark OEM part fits Clark-brand electric lift trucks. Cross-reference with your equipment model number and serial range to confirm compatibility. Some equivalent aftermarket contactors exist, but OEM CL 912365 ensures correct performance.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of this contactor?
A: Contactors typically last 3 to 7 years depending on duty cycle and maintenance. Failure symptoms include no power to lift circuits, intermittent engagement, or audible chattering when the contactor is powered. Replace if mechanical contacts are pitted or if coil resistance measures out of specification.
Q: Can I use a different amperage contactor as a substitute?
A: No. Using a contactor rated below 150A will overheat and fail under normal truck load. Using one rated much higher may not engage properly on 24V coil voltage. Always match the exact 150A rating specified in your equipment.
Q: Are there equivalent or superseded part numbers for CL 912365?
A: No direct cross-references or supersessions are published in Clark distributor catalogs. Use CL 912365 as specified. If this part is unavailable, consult your equipment schematic to verify the exact 150A/24V specification before exploring non-OEM alternatives.
