common (connection) Explanation: as an add-on to my previous message, I suggest that NC stands for "not closed" and NO for "not open" - wold make sense, electrically, wouldn't it? |

(power) source Explanation: Looking at this as operating instructions for an electrically operated lock, the contacts table would explain to you which cable to connect to which contact: opener (power) source closer Depending on the intended action to be taken, power is directed from the source to either the opening or the closing mechanism. One example for such a setup would be the operation of a sliding gate. |

center contact / source contact Explanation: I believe that's what it is. This is about a relay contact table. A relay is an electromechanical switch. The difficulty comes from the fact that what is usually called "Kontakt" in German is not exactly the same as what is usually called "contact" in English, although in most of the cases it is not really important. A contact (in English and also in French) is composed of two "legs" which are touching each other (contact closed) or not touching each other (contact open). For German thinking minds, each leg of this contact is usually called "Kontakt" and a contact is called "Ein Kontaktpaar". A contact can be: 1- a "closing contact" ie. it is open when the relay is de-energized and closes when the relay is energized. This is also called a "NO contact" (normally open contact). 2- an "opening contact" ie. it is closed when the relay is de-energized and closes when the relay is energized. This is also called a "NC contact" (normally closed contact). There are also hybrid contacts where the center arm (or leg) touches one side arm when the relay is de-energized and the other side arm when it is energized. I believe that this center arm is called Wurzel Kontakt in German and center /source contact in English. own and partial knowledge |
