Applicable standards 
The auxiliary switch blocks can be fitted according to the following standards:  
●  DIN EN 50005: Definition of terminal designations; however, the order of the terminal 
designations and the positions of the contacts can be determined by the user. 
●  DIN EN 50011 for contactor relays: Defined order for terminal designations and position 
of contacts. 
●  DIN EN 50012 for power contactors: Defined order for terminal designations and position 
of contacts. 
 
 
 
Note 
Standard DIN EN 50012 is no longer valid, but is still used. 
 
Definition: DIN EN 50005  
The terminal designations for contactors are defined in DIN EN 50005, which contains 
general rules. The following basic rules are defined therein for the contacts of auxiliary 
circuits:  
●  The terminals of auxiliary contacts are identified by two-digit numbers. 
●  The units digit is a function number (NC contact: 1 and 2, NO contact: 3 and 4). 
●  The tens digit is a sequence number (all contacts with the same function must have 
different sequence numbers).
