Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the PL 15-310 solenoid and what does it do?
A: The PL 15-310 is a Prestolite solenoid (model PRL-15-310-JN) used in electric lift truck and pallet jack hydraulic control circuits. It switches 24VDC power to engage hydraulic valve functions for lift and lower operations.
Q: What is the voltage and current rating of the PL 15-310?
A: The PL 15-310 operates at 24VDC nominal voltage with a continuous current rating of 200A. This makes it suitable for high-demand hydraulic valve circuits in industrial lift trucks.
Q: What terminal specifications does the PL 15-310 have?
A: The PL 15-310 is a 4-terminal SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) solenoid with flat mounting base. Power terminals are 5/16-18 UNC threaded studs and control circuit terminals are 10-32 UNF. This configuration allows direct connection to battery and control wiring.
Q: What materials are used in the PL 15-310 construction?
A: The PL 15-310 features copper contacts for reliable electrical conductivity, a continuous duty coil rated for extended operation without thermal cycling issues, and a steel housing for mechanical durability in truck environments.
Q: Are there cross-reference or replacement solenoids for the PL 15-310?
A: The PL 15-310 directly replaces the Arrowhead 10PT1483 solenoid. No other direct supersession or equivalent OEM numbers are currently available. Verify voltage and terminal configuration match your lift truck before ordering.
Q: What is the typical service life of the PL 15-310 solenoid?
A: In normal warehouse operation, a PL 15-310 solenoid typically lasts 3 to 5 years. Failure symptoms include inability to engage lift or lower functions, intermittent operation, or audible chattering when energized. Replace the solenoid if these issues occur.
