Industrial 5168698-42 Electrical Contact Plate

The Yale 5168698-42 Contact Plate is a durable conductive interface designed to transfer electrical current within forklift contactors and switching assemblies. It is commonly installed in Yale electric forklifts, mounting inside contactor units, control panels, and traction motor circuits to support high-current operation and reliable current flow. Constructed as a conductive metal plate (copper or alloy-based), the plate provides a stable electrical surface for repeated switching cycles and helps reduce resistance in high-current applications. Common replacements and cross-reference options include Yale 5168698-39 and Yale 5168698-38, with Hyster 5168698-42 also listed for compatible systems.
