Product Description
SOLENOID (12 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the voltage rating for solenoid 220035664?
A: Solenoid 220035664 is a 12-volt DC solenoid for electric material handling equipment. Do not apply 24-volt power to this unit, as the coil will burn out immediately. Verify your trucks electrical system voltage before ordering.
Q: Which electric lift truck models use a 12-volt solenoid?
A: Twelve-volt solenoids are used in some older electric pallet jacks and compact electric lift trucks. This solenoid fits equipment from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and other manufacturers with 12-volt DC systems. Confirm the solenoid mounting bore, connector terminals, and valve port threads match your specific model.
Q: How can I tell if the solenoid coil is burned out?
A: A burned solenoid may show visible coil insulation charring, or you may smell burned plastic when power is applied. Test with a multimeter for continuity across the coil terminals. An open circuit indicates the coil is burned. A shorted coil will drain the battery rapidly when the truck is idle.
Q: What is the expected service life of a 12-volt solenoid?
A: Under normal warehouse conditions, a 12-volt solenoid typically operates for 3 to 6 years. Frequent cycling, moisture exposure, or weak battery voltage shortens lifespan. If your solenoid fails prematurely, have the battery system and charging circuit checked to prevent early failure of the replacement.
Q: Can I use a 24-volt solenoid in place of the 12-volt solenoid 220035664?
A: No. Using a 24-volt solenoid on a 12-volt system will result in weak or no valve response and coil overheating. Always match the solenoid voltage to your trucks electrical system voltage. Using the wrong voltage voids any parts warranty and risks equipment damage.
