Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the current rating and housing material for the CL 1802424 gray connector?
A: The CL 1802424 is rated for 175 amperes nominal continuous duty with a maximum rated current of 280 amperes under UL 1977 standard. The gray housing is constructed from polycarbonate UL94 V-0, which provides excellent electrical insulation and flame resistance.
Q: What wire gauge or conductor sizes does the CL 1802424 accommodate?
A: The CL 1802424 accepts wire or busbar contacts up to 1/0 AWG. This gauge range is typical for battery and secondary power distribution circuits in electric lift trucks.
Q: What environmental protection rating does the CL 1802424 have?
A: The CL 1802424 features IP64 environmental protection, which provides protection against water spray and dust ingress. This rating is suitable for lift truck battery compartments and power circuits exposed to moisture and warehouse conditions.
Q: What is the mating cycle durability of the CL 1802424?
A: The connector is rated for 1,500 mating cycles. This specification indicates the number of times the connector can be connected and disconnected before mechanical wear degrades performance. Higher mating cycles extend service life in applications requiring periodic maintenance or reconfiguration.
Q: Does the CL 1802424 have gender-specific mating, and what does genderless mating mean?
A: The CL 1802424 uses genderless mating, meaning both connector halves have identical contact surfaces and can mate with each other. This design simplifies application flexibility and eliminates the need to maintain separate male and female connector variants.
Q: Which Clark electric lift truck circuits is the CL 1802424 typically used in?
A: The CL 1802424 is suitable for battery and electric lift truck circuits. The 175 amp nominal rating makes it appropriate for secondary power distribution, auxiliary circuits, or lower current applications compared to primary battery connectors. Verify compatibility with your specific truck model and circuit requirements.
