Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the CL 2803519 micro switch do in a Clark electric lift truck?
A: The CL 2803519 is a panel-mount micro switch used to detect movement or position in Clark electric lift truck control circuits. It is a momentary-contact, metal roller lever SPDT switch that sends electrical signals to the truck controller. Common uses include limit detection, position sensing, or emergency stop circuits.
Q: What is the electrical rating of the CL 2803519?
A: The CL 2803519 is rated for 250VAC maximum at 15A. It features SPDT (single-pole, double-throw) contact configuration with screw terminal connection. Verify your circuit voltage and current requirements match this specification before installation. Do not exceed rated voltage or current.
Q: What are the cross-reference and equivalent part numbers for CL 2803519?
A: The CL 2803519 replaces part number 2803519ALT, CL-2803519, and CLK-2803519. It is interchangeable with Total Source 2803519. Verify part number format when ordering; hyphens and prefixes vary across documentation and suppliers.
Q: What is the actuator type and how is it triggered?
A: The CL 2803519 has a metal roller lever actuator with precise geometry. The roller responds to mechanical contact—when an object presses the lever, the switch changes contact state. This design resists vibration and provides reliable actuation in industrial lift truck environments.
Q: Can the CL 2803519 be used in other equipment besides Clark lift trucks?
A: The CL 2803519 is a Clark OEM part specified for Clark equipment circuits. However, as a standard SPDT micro switch rated 250VAC at 15A, it may be compatible with other industrial equipment using identical voltage, current, and contact requirements. Verify circuit design and mechanical fit before use in non-Clark applications.
Q: How do I know if the CL 2803519 micro switch has failed?
A: Failure symptoms include: loss of the intended control function (e.g., limit not detected), intermittent actuation, or complete lack of electrical continuity when the lever is pressed. Test with a multimeter to confirm the switch opens and closes proper circuits. A faulty switch may cause erratic truck behavior or failed safety interlocks.
