CR 112329

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is CR 112329 rated for in electric lift truck applications?
A: The CR 112329 is an OEM contactor rated for 24VDC nominal coil voltage and 80A current capacity. It is designed for single-input forward-reverse power switching in Crown electric lift truck traction circuits, handling higher current loads than the 75A CR 112327.

Q: What are the mechanical features of CR 112329?
A: The CR 112329 features blade-style power contacts, glass-reinforced thermoplastic housing for durability in wet and corrosive material handling environments, and panel mounting configuration for field installation. The thermoplastic base provides impact resistance and electrical insulation in demanding fleet applications.

Q: What is the difference between CR 112329 and CR 112327?
A: The CR 112329 has a higher current rating of 80A compared to CR 112327 at 75A. CR 112329 also features glass-reinforced thermoplastic housing versus phenolic insulation. Use CR 112329 when your equipment requires higher traction motor current capacity. These contactors are not interchangeable without verifying motor amperage draw.

Q: What circuit function does CR 112329 perform?
A: The CR 112329 provides forward-reverse power switching for traction motor circuits. It receives low-current control signals from the operator joystick and switches full traction motor current in the commanded direction. This double-pole configuration ensures safe, positive motor direction reversal.

Q: Which Crown models require the 80A CR 112329 contactor?
A: Crown electric pallet jacks and lift trucks with higher-capacity traction motors typically use the 80A CR 112329 contactor. Verify your equipment motor nameplate amperage and control schematic to confirm this contactor is required. Higher current ratings can damage control circuits if oversized for the application.
