Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the coil voltage and coil current draw of the CT969-24?
A: The CT969-24 operates at 24VDC nominal voltage with a rated coil draw of 1.2A. This low coil current draw minimizes power consumption in the control circuit while maintaining reliable electromagnetic actuation.
Q: What contact configuration does the CT969-24 provide?
A: The CT969-24 features a single-throw double-pole (STDP) contact configuration. This allows simultaneous switching of two independent circuits from a single coil energization, suitable for coordinated switching in electric lift truck control systems.
Q: What material is used for contacts and structural components in the CT969-24?
A: The CT969-24 uses silver alloy contact construction for superior electrical conductivity and arc resistance. The base is made from glass-filled phenolic resin insulation, and the spring mechanism uses music wire SAE 1070 for consistent mechanical performance.
Q: Is the CT969-24 suitable for heavy-duty industrial switching?
A: Yes. The CT969-24 is engineered for heavy-duty industrial switching interoperability in electric lift truck assemblies. Silver alloy contacts and SAE 1070 spring materials provide durability and repeatable performance under continuous operational cycling.
Q: What is the base material composition of the CT969-24?
A: The CT969-24 base is constructed from glass-filled phenolic resin insulation. This material provides high dielectric strength and structural integrity for mounting within control panels and withstanding the vibration and thermal cycles of lift truck operation.
