Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications for the RA 1-105-216 power contactor?
A: The RA 1-105-216 is a Raymond OEM 24VDC power contactor with direct-coil actuation, copper alloy contact tips, and a molded thermoset body. It is single-pole, normally open, and suitable for main circuit control in electric lift truck systems.
Q: What voltage is the RA 1-105-216 rated for?
A: The RA 1-105-216 is rated for 24VDC nominal coil voltage. Both the control voltage and nominal operating voltage are 24VDC. Do not substitute this contactor on 36VDC systems, as the coil is specifically wound for 24V.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the RA 1-105-216?
A: The RA 1-105-216 is also referenced as RA1-105-216, RA1105216, and 1105216 across Raymond documentation and legacy systems. Verify your equipment documentation uses one of these recognized cross-references before ordering.
Q: What is the contact configuration of the RA 1-105-216?
A: The RA 1-105-216 is a single-pole, normally open power contactor. When energized, it closes to complete the main circuit. It is designed for reliable switching of main power circuits in electric lift trucks.
Q: What material are the contacts made from in the RA 1-105-216?
A: The RA 1-105-216 features copper alloy contact tips. Copper alloy provides consistent electrical conductivity, low contact resistance, and durability under repeated electrical switching cycles typical in lift truck main circuits.
Q: What is the purpose of the molded thermoset body in the RA 1-105-216?
A: The molded thermoset body provides structural integrity, electrical insulation, and heat resistance. It protects the internal contact mechanism and coil from mechanical damage and thermal stress during normal lift truck operation.
