Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What gauge and amperage is the DS225008 connector rated for?
A: The DS225008 is a 2/0 gauge connector in gray, designed for high-current electrical applications on electric lift trucks. The 2/0 designation indicates it carries amperage suitable for main battery and motor circuits on 24VDC and 36VDC equipment.
Q: What equipment models use the DS225008 gray connector?
A: This connector fits electric pallet jacks and lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster. The 2/0 gauge gray connectors are standard on models with 24VDC and 36VDC electrical systems. Cross-reference your equipment documentation to confirm compatibility with your specific serial range.
Q: Is DS225008 compatible with DS225918?
A: DS225008 and DS225918 are both 2/0 gauge connectors with identical gauges and amperage ratings. The difference is color: DS225008 is gray, and DS225918 is red. They are not interchangeable in the same application, as connector color indicates polarity or circuit function. Use the correct color for your circuit.
Q: What material is the DS225008 connector body made from?
A: The connector body is typically copper or tinned copper with an industrial-grade plastic or rubber insulation jacket. Gray-colored connectors are commonly used for negative or ground circuits on electric lift equipment. The material resists corrosion and maintains conductivity under high-amperage conditions.
Q: How often should I inspect or replace a DS225008 connector?
A: Inspect connectors annually or if you observe voltage drop, intermittent electrical faults, or corroded terminals. The DS225008 should last the lifetime of the equipment if kept dry and properly crimped. Replace if corrosion, pitting, or damage to the conductor or insulation is visible.
Q: What is the terminal size or lug diameter on the DS225008?
A: As a 2/0 gauge connector, it features a large-diameter copper lug designed to accept standard 2/0 battery cable terminals and pole connectors. Verify the exact lug hole diameter and stud size before ordering to ensure a proper mechanical fit on your battery box or circuit breaker.
