Normally open terminal normally closed terminal and common terminal respectively.
Normally open auxiliary contact symbol.
The lamp will energize only if someone presses the switch holding its normally open contacts in the closed position normally open switch contacts are sometimes referred to in the electrical industry as form a contacts.
It consists of a coil and a number of auxiliary normally open or normally closed contacts.
A form c would have 3 leads and would have 1 normally open and 1 normally closed circuit.
Normally closed nc contacts allow current through when the relay or contactor is not energized.
Auxiliary contact 1nc 1no.

Those that are closed in the non activated state or those that are open.
We can tell this switch is a normally open no switch because it is drawn in an open position.
When voltage is applied this contact opens and interrupts current.

Auxilliary contacts symbols for use in electrical pneumatic and hydraulic schematic diagrams.
A limiting condition is wired through the coil contacts and resulting conditions are wired through the.
There is a common electrical connection between a contact of each pair that results in only three connection terminals.
Form c contacts change over or transfer contacts are composed of a normally closed contact pair and a normally open contact pair that are operated by the same device.
These are known as normally closed n c and normally open n o contacts.
These have two states on or off.
The n c contacts are for example used as electrical interlocks where two contactors are used for forward reverse operation.
These are contacts of relays contactors timers counter field instrument switches pressure switches limit switches etc.
This is also called a changeover device because the common contact changes from the normally closed position to the normally open position when the coil is energized in a relay or a magnetic field is nearby in a reed switch.
In other words when voltage is applied to the relay contactor terminals this contact closes.
Normally open no contacts allow current when the relay or contactor is energized.

There are two basic auxiliary contact types.
No terminal nc terminal and com terminal represent contact terminals symbols.
On the other hand contact point a contact point b and contact point c represent contact structures.
Auxiliary contact 1nc 1no.
Each symbol means a single terminal itself.
These terminals are usually labelled as normally open common and normally closed no c nc.
