Size 0-2 Max three poles - 4 single circuit auxiliary contacts (NO or NC)*
Size 0-2 Max three poles - 2 single circuit auxiliary contacts (NO or NC) plus one power pole adder
Size 0-2 four or five poles - 2 single circuit auxiliary contacts (NO or NC)
Size 3-4 two to five poles - 3 single circuit auxiliary contacts (NO or NC)
Size 5 two or three poles - 2 single circuit auxiliary contacts (NO or NC) plus one power pole adder
Size 6-7 two or three poles - 3 single circuit auxiliary contacts (NO or NC)
Size 6-7 two or three poles - 2 single circuit auxiliary contacts (NO or NC) plus one power pole adder
*when adding 4 external auxiliary contacts to one size 0 or 1 contactor, remove one of the return springs
