A26078

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What electric lift trucks use the A26078 12VDC solenoid relay?
A: The A26078 12VDC solenoid relay controls power circuits in electric lift trucks and pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Hyster, and similar OEMs. It functions as a contactor in the motor control circuit. Verify coil voltage matches your truck electrical system before replacement.

Q: What are the electrical specifications for the A26078 solenoid relay?
A: The A26078 has a nominal coil voltage of 12VDC. Specifications include contact rating, holding current, and release time. Check your truck service manual for exact switching capacity and duty cycle requirements. Part number A26078 is OEM specification for this voltage and application class.

Q: What control circuits does the A26078 typically switch?
A: The A26078 is used in motor control, pump control, and auxiliary circuits on electric lift equipment. It switches high-current loads when energized by 12VDC signals from the joystick or control board. Circuit amperage and voltage requirements must match relay contact rating to prevent premature failure.

Q: What is the typical service life of the A26078 solenoid relay?
A: The A26078 typically provides 500,000 to 1,000,000 electrical cycles depending on switching frequency and load. Failure symptoms include delayed response, chattering contacts, or complete non-operation. Replace when relay does not energize or when electrical connections show pitting or burning.

Q: Can the A26078 coil be rewound or must the entire relay be replaced?
A: The A26078 solenoid relay should be replaced as a complete unit. Rewinding the coil is not practical for field repair. If the coil is burned out or the armature mechanism is damaged, replacement with new part A26078 is the correct service procedure.
