poeschlr opened this issue · 0 comments

Numbering scheme to use at least for parts that do not define one: (Taken from european standard i learned at school)

Full explanation from https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relais translated:

A1, A2: Coil
11, 12: normally closed contact
13, 14: normally open contact
11, 12, 14: a changeover contact (11 is the common circuit, 12 is NC and 14 NO)
15, 16, 18: a changeover contact with special function. For example a time delayed one. Here 15 is again the common contact and it requires always to be connected to supply. 16 is NC and 18 is NO.
