Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is SKU 00591-09070-81 and what cable size does it support?
A: SKU 00591-09070-81 is an SB350 contact set rated for 2/0 AWG cable. This heavy-gauge contact set is designed for high-amperage charging and power distribution in 48-volt electric forklift systems.
Q: Which lift truck models require 2/0 AWG contacts?
A: SB350 2/0 contacts are used in Toyota, Crown, Raymond, Hyster, and other OEM electric lift trucks with high-amperage charging systems and long battery cable runs. Verify your equipment connector style before ordering.
Q: What current and voltage rating does this contact set have?
A: SB350 2/0 contacts are rated for 350 amps at standard forklift operating voltages. This high current capacity is necessary for fast-charge applications and equipment with extended battery cable runs that experience voltage drop.
Q: How do I properly crimp 2/0 AWG wire onto these contacts?
A: Use a heavy-duty battery connector crimper specifically rated for 2/0 AWG cable. Strip 0.75 to 1 inch of insulation. Insert the wire fully into the contact barrel and apply firm, even pressure across the entire crimp length. Test with a multimeter to verify continuity.
Q: What maintenance is needed for SB350 2/0 contacts?
A: Inspect contacts quarterly for corrosion, white oxidation, or black discoloration. Clean connector faces with a contact-safe wire brush if oxidation appears. A corroded 2/0 contact will cause excessive voltage drop, slow charging, and potential safety issues.
