HOUSING (SB175 GRAY)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 800049861 gray housing part of and which equipment uses it?
A: The 800049861 is a gray-coded terminal housing for the SB175 connector series used in electric lift trucks. The SB175 series is a smaller-gauge connector family used on Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other OEM electric material-handling equipment for auxiliary circuits, sensor connections, or lower-current charging applications.
Q: How does the SB175 connector series differ from the SB350 series?
A: The SB175 connector series, including 800049861, is designed for lower-current and auxiliary electrical circuits compared to the SB350 series. SB350 housings (SKU 800049833, 800049835, 800049837) are rated for main battery and motor circuits, while SB175 housings like 800049861 are used for control signals, sensors, or auxiliary loads requiring smaller gauge contacts.
Q: What does the gray color coding on SKU 800049861 indicate?
A: The gray color coding on 800049861 identifies a specific terminal position or phase within the SB175 connector assembly. Color-coded housings ensure correct polarity and circuit assignment, preventing connection errors and equipment malfunction. Gray is typically used for ground, return, or neutral circuits depending on equipment design.
Q: What gauge wire and contact size is the 800049861 housing designed for?
A: The 800049861 SB175 housing is designed for smaller gauge wire than the SB350 series, typically in the range of 8-14 AWG depending on connector specifications. The SB175 series is rated for lower amperage loads such as sensor circuits, indicator lights, or control valve solenoids rather than main battery or motor power.
Q: How does the 800049861 housing perform in cold storage or wet environments?
A: The 800049861 SB175 gray housing is manufactured from durable thermoplastic or reinforced composite materials resistant to moisture, cold, and typical warehouse conditions. However, regular inspection for corrosion at mating contacts and terminals is recommended for equipment operating in freezer storage or high-humidity environments.
Q: What is the expected service life and maintenance interval for the 800049861?
A: The 800049861 gray SB175 housing typically provides 5-10 years of service life. Replace if visible cracks, brittle material, corroded contacts, or intermittent circuit continuity develops. Inspect connector housings annually or during scheduled equipment maintenance to detect damage early.
