Albright DC Contactor 36V 150A for Hyster – CT984-36

This DC contactor delivers a 150 amp thermal current rating on a 36 volt DC coil, built for the high-cycle switching duty of electric lift truck drive systems on Hyster trucks running 36 volt architecture. The contact configuration is single-pole, single-throw, normally open, so the contactor stays open at rest and closes only when the coil is energized, a fail-safe layout that prevents unintended motor engagement if coil power is lost.

Main power connections use M8 studs for a solid, vibration-resistant terminal connection under repeated load cycling, while the coil itself connects through 6.3mm spade terminals for simple control wiring. The unit is rated for continuous operation from negative 40 to positive 60 degrees Celsius, covering everything from cold warehouse dock work to hot outdoor yard use without derating concerns.

Mechanical life is rated beyond 5,000,000 cycles, a figure that reflects the sealed contact design used across this contactor family and points to long service life in trucks that see frequent forward and reverse switching throughout a shift. As a direct electrical component in the drive circuit, a failing contactor typically shows up as hesitation, intermittent power loss, or a truck that will not respond to direction changes, since the contacts themselves degrade with arcing over repeated switching.
