Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the SY 88203 push button switch control?
A: The SY 88203 is a push button switch used in electric lift truck control circuits, typically controlling functions such as raise, lower, or auxiliary equipment operation. The exact function depends on your equipment model. Verify compatibility with your OEM manufacturer (Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, etc.) before ordering.
Q: What voltage and amperage rating does the SY 88203 have?
A: Consult the product datasheet for the rated voltage, amperage, and contact configuration. Typical industrial push buttons handle 80-120 amp loads at 24VDC or 48VDC. Do not exceed rated specifications, as switch failure and electrical damage may result.
Q: How is the SY 88203 mounted in the control circuit?
A: The SY 88203 is wired into the equipment control harness or pendant. Contact specifications (normally open, normally closed, or changeover) determine the circuit connection. Refer to your equipment schematic or consult our parts team to confirm correct wire gauge and terminal type for your model.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of the SY 88203?
A: Push button switches typically operate reliably for 50,000 to 500,000 cycles depending on load, frequency, and environmental conditions. Replace if the button sticks, contacts fail to close or open, or electrical continuity is lost.
Q: Can the SY 88203 be used outdoors or in wet conditions?
A: Check the product datasheet for ingress protection (IP) rating. Standard industrial push buttons may corrode if exposed to moisture. For outdoor or wet-environment equipment, ensure the switch has appropriate sealing and stainless steel or coated components.
