Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between DS225918 red and DS225008 gray connectors?
A: Both are 2/0 gauge connectors with the same amperage capacity. DS225918 is red, typically indicating positive or high-voltage circuits. DS225008 is gray, typically indicating negative or ground circuits. They are not interchangeable, as proper color coding prevents incorrect circuit connections.
Q: Which electric lift truck models accept DS225918 connectors?
A: The DS225918 red 2/0 connector fits most 24VDC and 36VDC electric pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster. It is standard on battery positive terminals and main motor feed circuits. Always verify your equipment serial number and electrical schematic to confirm fitment.
Q: Can I use DS225918 to replace a corroded or damaged connector on my lift truck?
A: Yes, if the original connector on your equipment is a 2/0 gauge red connector and it is corroded or broken, the DS225918 is a direct replacement. Ensure the lug diameter, stud hole size, and circuit voltage match your equipment before installation to avoid electrical faults.
Q: What amperage does the DS225918 handle safely?
A: The 2/0 gauge designation means the DS225918 is rated for high-amperage circuits on electric lift trucks, typically 200 to 300+ amperes depending on circuit configuration. Verify the specific amperage rating for your equipment model by checking the battery box specifications or electrical diagram.
Q: Is the DS225918 insulated or bare copper?
A: The DS225918 has a red insulation jacket over the copper conductor and lug. This insulation protects the connector from accidental contact with other circuit components and clearly marks it as a positive/high-voltage terminal for safety and identification.
Q: How long does a DS225918 connector last before replacement is needed?
A: With proper maintenance and dry storage, the DS225918 should last 5 to 10+ years or the lifetime of the equipment. Replace it if corrosion develops, the insulation cracks or deteriorates, the lug becomes pitted, or if you notice intermittent electrical faults or voltage drops during operation.
