2.7.16.3 Mounting
The parallel switching connectors of size S00 can all be reduced by one pole. The illustration
below shows an example of how to mount the 3-pole parallel switching connector with
connection terminal to a contactor of size S00.
Table 2- 54 Mounting the 3-pole parallel switching connector with connection terminals
Step Operating instruction Image
1 Insert the pins of the parallel switching
connector into the contactor's terminal
openings from below until they are securely
in position.
2 Screw the parallel switching connector tight
with a screwdriver.
