Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the electrical specifications for the MS-106 micro-switch?
A: The MS-106 is a precision SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) switch rated at 10 amps and 250 volts AC maximum. It features silver contacts, quick-connect blade terminals of 0.250 inch, and is designed for 100,000 electrical cycles at rated load in repetitive industrial applications.
Q: What materials are used in the MS-106 construction?
A: The MS-106 has a glass-filled nylon body rated UL94 V-0 for flame resistance and durability in industrial environments. Silver contact surfaces provide reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance over extended use cycles.
Q: Which electric lift truck brands use the MS-106 micro-switch?
A: The MS-106 is compatible with electric lift trucks and material handling equipment from major manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other OEM brands that use this switch configuration in their control circuits.
Q: How do I know if the MS-106 needs replacement?
A: Replace the MS-106 if the truck exhibits intermittent function loss, does not respond to control inputs, or if the switch actuator lever becomes difficult to operate or unresponsive. After 100,000 cycles of heavy use, have the switch tested for reliability.
Q: What is the lifespan of the MS-106 micro-switch?
A: The MS-106 is rated for 100,000 electrical cycles at full rated load. Actual lifespan depends on application, cycle frequency, environmental conditions (moisture, temperature), and proper voltage and amperage management in the circuit.
Q: Does the MS-106 work in wet or cold storage environments?
A: The glass-filled nylon body with UL94 V-0 rating provides moisture resistance for damp environments. However, verify operating temperature range with your equipment specifications before use in cold storage or extreme environments.
