Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is included in the L0009780510 contact kit?
A: The L0009780510 is a contact kit containing replacement electrical contacts for electric lift truck connectors and contactors. This kit is typically used to refurbish existing connectors or repair worn electrical contacts in battery charging systems.
Q: Which connectors or contactors does this contact kit fit?
A: Contact kits are application-specific. The L0009780510 is designed for use with OEM equipment from major manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and similar brands. Confirm your specific connector or contactor model matches before ordering.
Q: What type of contacts are included and what material are they made from?
A: Contact kits typically include flat wipe contacts or spring-loaded contacts made from silver-plated copper, which provides excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. The specific contact material depends on the connector type this kit is designed for.
Q: When should I replace contacts in my lift truck connectors?
A: Replace contacts when you notice increased contact resistance, sparking during connection, loose or corroded contacts, or intermittent electrical faults. Worn contacts cause voltage drops, reduced charging efficiency, and potential equipment damage.
Q: How long should contacts last before needing replacement?
A: High-quality silver-plated copper contacts typically remain reliable for thousands of mating cycles (connection cycles). With daily use in a warehouse, contacts may last one to three years. Environmental exposure to moisture, chemicals, or temperature extremes can reduce lifespan.
