Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the electrical specifications of the IE-1216 micro-switch?
A: The IE-1216 is rated for 250VAC maximum, 5A at 125VAC, with SPST (single pole single throw) momentary contact design. Quick-connect terminals ensure secure connection to control circuit wiring.
Q: What materials are used in the IE-1216?
A: Housing is UV-stabilized acetal for durability and chemical resistance. The actuator is polycarbonate/nylon blend for wear resistance. Mounting clip is stainless steel for corrosion protection in damp material handling environments.
Q: Which electric lift trucks use the IE-1216 micro-switch?
A: The IE-1216 fits multiple control circuit applications across Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and similar OEM brands. Verify your equipment model and control circuit voltage against the 250VAC maximum rating before ordering.
Q: What is the connection type for the IE-1216?
A: The IE-1216 uses 0.250 inch quick-connect tab terminations. These tabs slide directly onto standard spade connectors, simplifying circuit integration and allowing quick removal for maintenance or replacement.
Q: What failure symptoms indicate the IE-1216 needs replacement?
A: Failure signs include intermittent control circuit response, stuck actuation, no electrical continuity when activated, or visible damage to the actuator or housing. Environmental exposure to oils and moisture accelerates wear on older units.
