Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the coil voltage specification for the RA 560-213-06 starter solenoid?
A: The RA 560-213-06 is rated at 24VDC coil voltage. This solenoid is designed for Raymond 8300, 8400, and 8500 electric pallet trucks with 24-volt electrical systems.
Q: Can I use the RA 560-213-06 solenoid switch on other equipment brands?
A: The RA 560-213-06 is engineered specifically for Raymond pallet jacks and may not be compatible with other manufacturers. Do not attempt cross-application without confirming terminal configuration and voltage compatibility with us first.
Q: What are the terminal types on this solenoid switch?
A: The RA 560-213-06 features copper stud terminals for direct OEM fitment on Raymond equipment. These terminals provide robust electrical contact and are designed for the starter circuit environment.
Q: What do the silver alloy switching contacts do?
A: The silver alloy switching contacts provide reliable electrical continuity and are engineered to withstand the high current transients typical of pallet truck starter circuits. They resist corrosion and extend solenoid operational life.
Q: Is the RA 560-213-06 an intermittent-duty or continuous-duty contactor?
A: The RA 560-213-06 is rated for intermittent-duty operation, meaning it is designed for start-stop pallet truck use, not continuous energization. Do not use for continuous-duty applications.
Q: What symptoms indicate the RA 560-213-06 solenoid is failing?
A: Common failure symptoms include no starter engagement when the start button is pressed, audible clicking without motor cranking, or intermittent starting. Contact us if you experience these issues for replacement guidance.
