Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the P844-0012 housing and what is it used for?
A: The P844-0012 is a gray polycarbonate housing for SB350 battery connectors on electric lift trucks. It encases the internal contacts and contact carriers, providing electrical insulation and mechanical protection for 350A, 24VDC battery systems.
Q: Which electric lift truck brands use the P844-0012 SB350 housing?
A: The P844-0012 gray housing fits Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, CAT, and BT electric lift trucks with SB350 connector systems. Cross-reference your truck OEM documentation to confirm SB350 housing compatibility before ordering.
Q: What are the material specifications of the P844-0012?
A: The P844-0012 is injection-molded polycarbonate with gray color. Polycarbonate resists impact, vibration, and temperature swings from ambient to cold storage environments. The material maintains electrical insulation properties and does not degrade from battery acid spray or typical warehouse cleaning agents.
Q: Why is the P844-0012 gray instead of red or blue?
A: The P844-0012 gray housing is a neutral enclosure that works with any polarity configuration in your SB350 system. Red (P844-0004) and blue (P844-0013) housings are keyed connectors for specific polarity functions. The P844-0012 gray housing provides a replacement enclosure when the original housing cracks or degrades.
Q: What failure symptoms indicate the P844-0012 housing needs replacement?
A: Replace the P844-0012 if the housing shows visible cracks, is discolored from heat damage, has melted areas near contacts, or allows loose contact movement. Exposure of internal contacts creates electrical hazards and fire risk. The housing typically lasts 3-5 years with normal use; harsher environments may reduce lifespan to 1-2 years.
