enables to plan a circuit to detect welding
or go back to the beginning condition.
• Separated chamber structure
(2 Form A 2 Form B, 3 Form A 1 Form B,
4 Form A 4 Form B)
N.O. and N.C. side contacts are put in
each own space surrounded with a card
and a body-separater. That prevents
short circuit between contacts, which is
caused by their springs welding or
damaged.

16.5±0.3
.650±.012
N.O. and N.C. side contacts are
connected through a card so that one
interacts with the other in movement. In
case of a contact welding, the other
keeps a min. 0.5mm .020inch contact
gap.
• Independent operation contacts
(4 Form A 4 Form B)
Each pair of contacts is free from the
main armature and is independent from
each other. So if a N.O. pair of contacts
are welded, the other 3 N.O. contacts are
not effected (operate properly) That
