Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the wire gauge and amperage rating for SKU 8268-008?
A: The 8268-008 is a 2/0 gauge electrical connector rated for high-current applications typical in electric lift truck battery and charging systems. The 2/0 designation supports continuous amperage draw on the order of 150 to 200 amps depending on cable length and ambient temperature.
Q: Which lift truck models use the SB350 2/0 Yellow connector?
A: The SB350 series connector is compatible with Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster electric lift trucks that operate on 24VDC to 80VDC battery systems. Cross-reference your truck model, battery voltage, and harness color coding before ordering. Yellow insulation typically indicates a positive or high-current power line.
Q: What material is the 8268-008 connector made from?
A: The SB350 connector body is constructed from heavy-duty brass or copper alloy with corrosion-resistant plating. The insulation is yellow polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or silicone rubber, selected for durability in wet storage, freeze-thaw cycles, and exposure to battery acid mist.
Q: How often should the 8268-008 connector be inspected for wear or corrosion?
A: Inspect high-current connectors every 500 operating hours or quarterly, whichever comes first. Look for white or green oxidation on the contact surfaces, loose crimp connections, or burned insulation. Corroded contacts reduce amperage delivery and can trigger voltage drop faults in the control system.
Q: What is a compatible cross-reference part for the 8268-008?
A: The SB350 2/0 Yellow connector shares dimensional and electrical specifications with equivalent Anderson SB connectors and Mega Fuse block terminals rated for 2/0 gauge cable. Verify terminal contact material and amperage rating match your truck before substituting.
