Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the main specifications of the AL DC88-336?
A: The AL DC88-336 is a reversing contactor rated for 100A continuous current, 800A short-term fault breaking capacity, M8 main terminals, and a coil voltage range of 6VDC to 240VDC. Typical voltage drop at 100A is 40 to 50mV per pole. The housing is made from high-strength composite material.
Q: What does the wide 6VDC to 240VDC coil voltage range mean?
A: The AL DC88-336 can operate across a broad voltage range, making it compatible with low-voltage (6V, 12V, 24V) and high-voltage (48V, 80V, 240V) lift truck systems. Confirm your equipment coil voltage before ordering to ensure you select the correct contactor model.
Q: What is the typical coil power dissipation?
A: The AL DC88-336 has a typical coil power dissipation of 13 to 15W under prolonged rated operation. Low power dissipation reduces heat stress on the coil and extends service life in continuous-duty applications.
Q: What is the double pole motor reversing design?
A: Double pole design means the contactor has two independent switching poles, allowing it to reverse motor polarity for forward and reverse motion. This is essential for reversing the direction of drive motors on lift trucks without additional external reversing relays.
Q: Can the AL DC88-336 be used as a cross-reference for other contactors?
A: The AL DC88-336 can replace other Albright DC88 series contactors if coil voltage, current rating, terminal type, and mounting dimensions match exactly. Always verify compatibility with your OEM manual before substitution. No direct cross-reference part numbers are available from other manufacturers for this exact model.
Q: Which lift truck equipment brands use the AL DC88-336?
A: Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, BT, and Mitsubishi electric lift trucks use Albright DC88-336 style reversing contactors. Confirm your specific equipment model and serial number to verify compatibility before ordering.
