Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the electrical specification for the RA 1020341-003 key switch?
A: The RA 1020341-003 is rated 12VDC, SPST (single-pole single-throw) configuration with 2 detent ON/OFF positions. Mechanical life is rated at 25,000 cycles minimum. This switch is designed specifically for Raymond electric lift truck panel mounting applications.
Q: What are the physical dimensions and mounting requirements for this key switch?
A: Barrel length is 1.00 inch with a panel cutout diameter of 0.75 inch. The switch requires M19 x 1.0 mounting thread for secure panel installation. The housing is die-cast zinc alloy and the key is nickel-plated steel.
Q: Can the RA 1020341-003 be used as a replacement for other Raymond lift truck models?
A: This OEM switch is specified for Raymond electric lift truck series. Verify your model year and control panel configuration match before ordering. The M19 x 1.0 mounting thread and 0.75 inch cutout diameter must align with your existing panel.
Q: What causes a key switch to fail prematurely in electric lift trucks?
A: Switch failure typically results from exceeding the 25,000-cycle mechanical rating, moisture ingress causing corrosion of the nickel-plated steel key, or contact wear from high-frequency cycling. Use a direct replacement with identical OEM part number to maintain electrical safety.
