Product Description
CONTACT SET (SB50A #6)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the SB50A #6 contact set include and what is it used for?
A: The SB50A #6 contact set (922-329) contains six electrical contacts designed for use inside SB50A quick-disconnect connectors. These contacts complete electrical circuits in material handling equipment power systems and must handle high amperage loads.
Q: What amperage rating does this SB50A contact set handle?
A: SB50A contact sets are rated for high-amperage applications, typically 50-600 amps depending on connector configuration. Verify the exact amperage specification in your equipment manual. Using undersized contacts creates fire and safety hazards.
Q: Is this #6 contact set compatible with SB50 (non-A) connectors?
A: No. The SB50A designation indicates a different terminal arrangement and contact configuration than standard SB50 connectors. Contacts are not interchangeable between SB50 and SB50A systems. Always verify the connector type before ordering contacts.
Q: What material are these contacts made from?
A: SB50A contacts are typically made from copper or silver-plated brass. Silver plating reduces resistance and corrosion, extending contact life. The copper base provides conductivity and structural strength for repeated connection cycles.
Q: How do I know if the contact set needs replacement?
A: Replace contacts if you observe arcing during connection, intermittent power loss, discoloration (black or green oxidation), or physical damage. Worn or corroded contacts reduce electrical reliability and can cause equipment downtime or safety issues.
