Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the terminal size on the SOL-204 solenoid?
A: The SOL-204 features a 5/16 inch minus 24 UNF threaded terminal connection. This specific terminal size is critical for electrical connection compatibility. Verify your lift truck power harness terminal matches 5/16 inch minus 24 UNF before ordering.
Q: How does the SOL-204 differ from the SOL-202?
A: Both are 12VDC continuous-duty solenoids for electric lift trucks. The primary difference is terminal connection type and size. The SOL-204 uses a 5/16 inch minus 24 UNF terminal, while the SOL-202 uses a different terminal configuration. Choose the correct SKU based on your equipment terminal requirement.
Q: What is the inrush current specification for the SOL-204?
A: The SOL-204 draws 250 amps peak current at initial contact closure. This inrush current occurs only at the moment of solenoid activation. Lift truck electrical systems must be rated to handle this peak draw without tripping protection devices or damaging wiring.
Q: What material is the SOL-204 coil cover made from?
A: The SOL-204 coil is enclosed in a high-impact thermoplastic cover. This material resists mechanical shock, vibration, and environmental exposure in lift truck operating conditions. The thermoplastic cover does not provide electrical insulation; external mounting location must ensure safe clearance from operator contact.
Q: Can the SOL-204 be used for hydraulic control and motor drive functions?
A: Yes. The SOL-204 is rated for continuous duty and can switch both hydraulic control solenoid valves and electric motor starters in 12-volt lift truck systems. Verify the electrical load (current draw) does not exceed lift truck system design limits for the circuit being controlled.
