Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the specifications for SKU 0158045-00?
A: SKU 0158045-00 is an industrial-grade micro-switch with SPDT contact form (single pole double throw) and momentary actuation. It operates on 24VDC or 120VAC control circuits and is designed specifically for electric lift truck applications.

Q: What does SPDT contact form mean and why does it matter?
A: SPDT means the micro-switch has one input and two possible output states (normally open and normally closed contacts). This configuration allows the control system to detect both active and inactive switch positions, which is critical for safety interlocks in lift truck control circuits.

Q: Which electric lift trucks use SKU 0158045-00?
A: This micro-switch is compatible with electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and Jungheinrich. Confirm your truck model, control voltage, and terminal connection type before ordering.

Q: What terminal connection options does SKU 0158045-00 offer?
A: SKU 0158045-00 supports both screw terminal and spade terminal connections. Select the terminal type that matches your truck control harness connectors to ensure proper fit and reliable electrical contact.

Q: What is momentary actuation and how does it apply to this micro-switch?
A: Momentary actuation means the switch only remains active while mechanical pressure is applied; it returns to its resting state when pressure is released. This is standard for lift truck control switches because it ensures the control signal stops immediately when the operator releases the control lever.

Q: What voltage ratings does SKU 0158045-00 support?
A: This micro-switch is rated for 24VDC and 120VAC control circuits, which are the standard voltages used in electric lift truck control systems. Verify your truck control circuit voltage matches one of these ratings before installation.
