Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the electrical specifications of the 6136151-FA micro-switch?
A: The 6136151-FA is rated 5A at 250VAC with SPDT configuration (1 NO + 1 NC contact). Operating voltage is up to 250VAC, 5A. Dielectric strength is 1000VAC, 50/60Hz for 1 minute between terminal and ground.
Q: What does SPDT configuration mean for this micro-switch?
A: SPDT stands for Single Pole Double Throw. This micro-switch has one common contact that switches between two positions: one Normally Open (NO) contact and one Normally Closed (NC) contact. This allows the switch to control two different circuits with a single activation.
Q: How long will this micro-switch last in forklift service?
A: The 6136151-FA has a minimum electrical life rating of 100,000 cycles at rated load. Actual lifespan depends on duty cycle, environment, and whether the switch operates at or below its 5A, 250VAC rating.
Q: Is the 6136151-FA compatible with 24V and 48V lift truck systems?
A: Yes. The 6136151-FA is rated for up to 250VAC, so it operates safely on standard lift truck control voltages (24V DC and 48V DC are well below this rating). Verify your specific truck control voltage requirements match the application.
Q: What is the difference between 6136151-0F and 6136151-FA micro-switches?
A: The 6136151-FA is an upgraded version with higher electrical cycle rating (100,000+ cycles), screw terminal configuration, and reinforced thermoplastic encapsulated housing for improved durability in forklift control panels. The 6136151-0F is an older specification with lower cycle ratings. Verify which version your truck requires before ordering.
