Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the voltage and current rating for the HY 996108 contact kit?
A: The HY 996108 is rated for up to 48VDC with a continuous duty capacity of 200A. It is engineered for high-cycle DC motor switching systems commonly found in Hyster electric lift trucks. Verify your equipment voltage before ordering to ensure compatibility.
Q: What materials are used in the HY 996108 contact kit?
A: The HY 996108 features precision copper alloy contacts with a silver-plated finish for reliable electrical conductivity. Springs are constructed from hardened steel per ASTM A228 music wire specification. The insulation is phenolic resin per NEMA L1 standards, designed for continuous duty cycle applications.
Q: What equipment does the HY 996108 contact kit fit?
A: The HY 996108 is a drop-in replacement for Hyster electric truck contactor assemblies. It is compatible with high-cycle DC motor switching systems in Hyster electric lift trucks operating at 48VDC or lower. Confirm your equipment model and contactor type match before ordering.
Q: How long does the HY 996108 typically last?
A: The HY 996108 is rated for continuous duty cycle at 120 cycles, delivering sustained performance under standard operational demands. Actual lifespan depends on load conditions, switching frequency, and maintenance practices. Silver-plated contacts resist corrosion and arc erosion, extending service life in typical electric truck environments.
Q: Is the HY 996108 an OEM Hyster part?
A: Yes. The HY 996108 is an OEM Hyster contact kit with manufacturer part number 996108. It meets Hyster original equipment specifications for contactor assemblies and is engineered as a direct replacement for factory-installed units.
Q: What is the duty cycle specification for the HY 996108?
A: The HY 996108 is rated for continuous duty cycle operation at 120 cycles, meaning it can handle sustained switching loads without thermal derating. This specification makes it suitable for standard warehouse and material handling operations on Hyster electric lift trucks.
