Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What function does the DSP181-0013 push button switch serve in electric lift trucks?
A: The DSP181-0013 is a momentary-action push button switch used in electric lift truck control circuits for lifting, lowering, or direction functions. It provides operator input to the vehicle control system and is typically mounted on the truck handle or pendant control.
Q: What are the electrical specifications of the DSP181-0013?
A: The DSP181-0013 is rated for 24 volt DC electrical circuits standard in electric lift trucks. Contact rating is 10 amps at 24 VDC. The switch has a momentary contact configuration with a return-to-neutral spring mechanism for safety.
Q: Which electric lift truck models use the DSP181-0013 push button switch?
A: The DSP181-0013 is compatible with electric lift trucks from Crown, Raymond, Yale, Linde, Jungheinrich, and BT. Verify your truck control system voltage and connector type before ordering, as some models may require 48 volt switches or different contact configurations.
Q: How can you diagnose a faulty DSP181-0013 switch?
A: Signs of a failing DSP181-0013 include sluggish or delayed response to button presses, intermittent loss of function, or stuck actuation. Use a multimeter to verify electrical continuity when the button is pressed. Replace the switch if continuity is broken or if the button has lost mechanical feel.
Q: Are there equivalent or interchangeable switches for the DSP181-0013?
A: The DSP181-0013 is equivalent to Crown part number 080342, Raymond part number 21301, and Yale part number 580038100. Always verify voltage rating and contact configuration match your control circuit before substituting equivalent parts, as incompatible switches may cause control system failure.
