Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the voltage and continuous duty rating for the SAS-5201?
A: The SAS-5201 is a 12VDC solenoid with a 100 amp continuous duty current rating. This makes it suitable for main power control circuits in 12-volt electric lift trucks and material handling equipment.
Q: What Delco and Prestolite part numbers does the SAS-5201 replace?
A: The SAS-5201 replaces multiple OEM equivalents: Delco part numbers 1114208, 1114218, 1114283, 1114223, 1114534, and 1114547; Autolite/Prestolite part numbers 15-88, 15-133, 15-236, 15-311, and 15-316. It also supersedes earlier Prestolite variants SAS-4201, SAS-4202, SAS-5201A, SAS-5203, SAS-5203A, and SWX-88.
Q: What are the physical mounting and terminal specifications for the SAS-5201?
A: The SAS-5201 has a flat mounting bracket and four-terminal design. The insulated steel base provides structural rigidity and electrical isolation. This configuration is the industry standard for 12-volt solenoids in electric lift trucks manufactured by Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and similar OEMs.
Q: What contact material is used in the SAS-5201?
A: The SAS-5201 features silver alloy contacts designed for reliable electrical conductivity in continuous duty applications. Silver alloy provides excellent contact resistance and arc suppression, extending solenoid lifespan in high-cycle material handling environments.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of an SAS-5201 in continuous service?
A: With proper voltage supply and circuit protection, the SAS-5201 typically performs for 3 to 5 years in continuous duty operation. Lifespan depends on coil temperature, contact arcing cycles, and electrical load consistency. Operating outside voltage specifications or exceeding amperage ratings will reduce lifespan significantly.
Q: Can the SAS-5201 be substituted with newer variants like SAS-5201A or SAS-5201B?
A: Yes, the SAS-5201 is directly interchangeable with SAS-5201A and SAS-5201B. All three share the same 12VDC rating, 100 amp continuous duty specification, four-terminal configuration, and flat mounting bracket. Verify bolt hole spacing and terminal post dimensions match your equipment before ordering.
