Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between SKU 118016 and SKU 118017?
A: Both are micro-switches for electric lift truck control systems. SKU 118017 is used in specific models and configurations where the mounting bracket or connector pin arrangement differs from SKU 118016. Always verify your exact equipment model before selecting either part.
Q: Which lift truck brands use SKU 118017?
A: SKU 118017 is compatible with electric pallet jacks, walkie stackers, and rider-operated trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster. Compatibility depends on model year and control system design. Confirm your equipment specifications match before ordering.
Q: What voltage and current rating does SKU 118017 have?
A: SKU 118017 is rated for 24V DC circuits with a maximum contact current of 5A. This is the standard voltage for electric material handling equipment control circuits. Do not apply higher voltages as switch failure will occur.
Q: How do you test if SKU 118017 is functioning correctly?
A: Testing requires a multimeter set to continuity or resistance mode. When the switch is activated, continuity should exist across the contacts. When released, the circuit should open (no continuity). High resistance readings or intermittent continuity indicate the switch contacts are degraded and the part should be replaced.
Q: Are SKU 118016 and 118017 interchangeable parts?
A: No. While both are micro-switches for similar equipment, they have different mounting brackets or connector configurations. Incorrect installation will result in poor contact, control failure, or physical damage. Always use the exact SKU specified for your equipment model.
