Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the YL 6202871-00 micro switch used for in Yale lift trucks?
A: The YL 6202871-00 is a micro switch configured as a position-sensing control element for Yale electric lift truck hydraulic assemblies and control systems. The -00 suffix indicates the standard production variant of this snap-action switch with panel-mount configuration and SPDT contacts.
Q: Is YL 6202871-00 compatible with other YL 6202871 variants?
A: The YL 6202871-00 shares the same core functionality as YL 6202871 and YL 6202871-01, though the numeric suffix (-00, -01) may denote different actuator orientations or contact configurations for specific control assembly layouts. Verify your equipment schematic to ensure the correct variant before substitution.
Q: Can you substitute YL 6202871-00 with YL 620287100?
A: The YL 6202871-00 and YL 620287100 are functionally equivalent micro switches and can be used interchangeably in most Yale electric lift truck applications. However, confirm mounting orientation and contact pole alignment with your truck documentation, as physical orientation may differ between part number variants.
Q: What electrical specifications does the YL 6202871-00 have?
A: The YL 6202871-00 micro switch is rated for typical control circuit voltages used in Yale electric lift trucks, generally 12V or 24V DC control circuits. Contact resistance is very low when actuated, and the switch can handle the inrush current of solenoid valve coils and relay circuits commonly found in material handling control systems.
