Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 66-0090 housing and what does it protect?
A: The 66-0090 is an SB50 gray housing used in electric pallet jacks and lift trucks. It encases electrical components, solenoids, relays, contactors, or control modules to protect against moisture, dust, mechanical impact, and accidental contact with live electrical terminals.
Q: Which electric lift trucks and pallet jacks use the SB50 gray housing 66-0090?
A: The 66-0090 SB50 gray housing is compatible with electric pallet jacks and lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, CAT, and BT that use SB50-size housings. Confirm your equipment model and component size before ordering.
Q: What material is the 66-0090 housing constructed from?
A: The 66-0090 is made from gray cast material, typically polyamide or polycarbonate reinforced thermoplastic with UL flame rating. This material provides impact resistance, electrical insulation, and durability in industrial environments while remaining lightweight for mounting on mobile equipment.
Q: What is the NEMA or IP rating for the 66-0090 housing?
A: Contact us with your specific equipment model and serial number for exact enclosure ratings. Typical industrial housings are rated NEMA 4 or IP65 for splash and dust protection. Verify the rating matches your operational environment, especially for outdoor storage or wet conditions.
Q: Can the 66-0090 housing be repaired if cracked or damaged?
A: Minor cracks may be sealed with epoxy or plastic welding for temporary protection, but permanent replacement is recommended to maintain electrical safety and environmental protection. Cracks expose internal components to moisture and debris, risking electrical shorts and component failure.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the 66-0090 housing?
A: With normal industrial use and dry storage, the 66-0090 housing should last 5 to 8 years. UV exposure, extreme temperature cycling, chemical contamination, or impact damage reduce lifespan. Inspect the housing annually for cracks, seal degradation, or discoloration indicating material fatigue.
