  • Publication number: 20050212631
    Abstract: A system for selecting coil voltage in an electrical device comprises a housing and a coil in the housing having a plurality of windings. Each winding has a pair of pins. A slider supports a plurality of moveable contacts and is moveably mounted in the housing proximate the coil so that the plurality of moveable contacts selectively make or break electrical contact between the winding pins to select coil voltage.

  • Publication number: 20050068132
    Abstract: An electrical contactor has a removable coil comprising a contactor housing including a cavity. A pair of fixed coil terminals are mounted to the contactor housing proximate the cavity. A removable coil is removably mountable in the cavity. A pair of coil terminal clips are mounted to the coil. The fixed coil terminals make electrical contact with the coil terminal clips when the removable coil is inserted in the cavity.

  • Patent number: 5258732
    Abstract: An overload relay includes a base (22) with electrical contacts (162, 164) thereon. A lever (116) including a contact actuator (140) is in proximity to the contacts (162, 164) and a pivot (122) mounts the lever (116) on the base (22) for pivotal movement between first and second positions. A releasable latch (106) normally holds the lever (116) in a particular one of the positions and a spring (144) is interposed between the base (22) and the lever (116) at a location spaced from the pivot (122) to bias the lever (116) toward the other of the positions by applying a bias thereto in a generally predetermined direction. The direction and location are such that when the lever (116) is in a latched position, the bias will provide a relatively small force tending to move the lever (116) toward the unlatched position and further is such that as the lever (116) moves towards the first position, the bias produces an increasing force tending to move the lever (116) towards the unlatched position.
