Resource category 2 contains make help contacts of different kinds.

 

"Make" is the correct term according to the IEC standard. Other popular terms for the same thing is "normally open", "NO", and "closing".

 

Please note that when contacts are booked towards contact mirrors, different kinds of make help contacts are separated. A delayed make contact and a conventional make contact are for example not considered to be same thing.

 

At delivery, function codes for all common types of make help contacts are predefined. Would a need for additional types occur, it is easy to add more.

 

Make contacts are not considered to have a direction and not to be asymmetric, even though that is not true geometrically speaking. From a functional perspective, it is however true. Therefore, these symbols are available in two versions each, one vertical and one horizontal.
