Understand the difference.

Compare the meaning, drawing context and source references of two entries. A similar graphic or shared abbreviation does not establish equivalence.

NO EARLY

IEEE / ANSI

ANSI/IEEE early-make normally-open contact symbol

The anticipated NO contact form identifies earlier operation relative to documented associated contacts. The common device reference supplies that comparison; the modifier does not assign a universal millisecond operating time.

Form evidence

Autodesk IEEE-oriented Relays and Contacts functional form. Autodesk explicitly publishes this block under IEEE Symbol Preview. The counterpart is the matching functional concept; no equivalence of every detailed standard graphic is asserted.

A distinction that matters

Relative mechanical sequence differs from an electronic on-delay setting.

NO EARLY

Symbols

Early-make normally-open contact

An early-make NO contact closes earlier in the mechanism sequence than specified associated contacts. The relative sequence is meaningful only when the linked contacts and common operator are identified.

A distinction that matters

Early make is a relative operating sequence, not a fixed millisecond time delay.
