Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the voltage and current rating for solenoid 42653?
A: Solenoid 42653 is rated at 24VDC nominal voltage with a maximum continuous current rating of 50 amps under intermittent duty cycles. This solenoid is designed for electric forklift and lift truck starter applications. Do not exceed rated voltage or use on 12V systems.
Q: What is the OEM cross-reference for solenoid 42653?
A: The OEM part number for solenoid 42653 is 42653-ORG. This cross-reference helps identify the correct starter contactor when ordering replacements for your electric lift truck or diesel forklift.
Q: Which forklift brands is solenoid 42653 compatible with?
A: Solenoid 42653 is compatible with diesel-powered forklifts, electric lift trucks, and heavy material handling equipment from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other OEM manufacturers that use 24VDC starter circuits. Verify your equipment starter circuit voltage before ordering.
Q: What is the activation cycle life for solenoid 42653?
A: Solenoid 42653 is rated for 100,000 activation cycles under intermittent duty conditions. After extended use, the solenoid contacts experience electrical erosion and arcing. If the starter is sluggish or does not engage, the solenoid has likely reached end of life.
Q: What terminal type does solenoid 42653 use?
A: Solenoid 42653 has a 2-position screw terminal design for control circuit connections. Ensure wiring connections are tight and corrosion-free to prevent voltage drop and starter failure.
Q: When should solenoid 42653 be replaced?
A: Replace solenoid 42653 when the starter becomes intermittent, grinding noise occurs during cranking, or the starter does not engage consistently. The solenoid contacts wear after 100,000 cycles and cannot be refurbished. A new solenoid is the only reliable solution.
