Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the amperage rating and intended application of the BJ 005658 contactor?
A: The BJ 005658 is a 12VDC single pole contactor rated at 100 amperes with a 100 amp interrupting capacity. It is engineered for intermittent duty operation and controls 2nd speed power circuits and 3rd speed brake control functions in electric lift truck applications. Single pole configuration means it switches one power line at a time, making it suitable for speed and brake management rather than main drive circuits.
Q: What terminal style does the BJ 005658 use and how is it mounted?
A: The BJ 005658 features robust stud terminals designed for secure bolt-down connections to the truck electrical control panel or junction block. Stud terminals accept ring lugs or flat blade connectors and provide a direct, low-resistance connection suitable for high current intermittent duty circuits. The mounting is configured as an OEM replacement for Big Joe electric pallet jacks and related equipment.
Q: How does the BJ 005658 differ from the BJ 005656 contactor?
A: The BJ 005656 is a double pole continuous duty main contactor for traction and forward/reverse control, while the BJ 005658 is a single pole 100 amp intermittent duty device for speed and brake circuits. The 005658 operates at the same 12VDC but handles lower priority control functions rather than primary drive motor power. Use each for its specified circuit type only.
Q: What are cross reference or equivalent part numbers for the BJ 005658?
A: The manufacturer part number is BJ 005658, and the OEM designation is 005658. No alternative cross reference or superseding part numbers are documented for this contactor. Always order using BJ 005658 to ensure you receive the correct 12VDC, 100 amp single pole device.
Q: What failure symptoms indicate the BJ 005658 needs replacement?
A: Loss of 2nd or 3rd speed operation, inability to engage brake function, audible chatter or clicking from the contactor that does not stop, or visible corrosion and pitting on stud terminals all indicate failure. Since this contactor manages speed and braking rather than main drive, failure here typically results in loss of speed control or brake engagement while forward/reverse motion may still work through the main contactor.
