Drawing use: Schematic
Reference families: Manufacturer

An actuator terminal organises supply, output and any protective-conductor connections for a documented actuator circuit.

## What it represents

An actuator terminal organises supply, output and any protective-conductor connections for a documented actuator circuit. Its internal and bridged paths must agree with the output-device wiring.

## How to read it

- Trace the switched output separately from the common supply or PE level.
- The preview is an original explanation of this function. Match the actual drawing convention to its legend and the selected equipment documentation.

## Information to show or reference

- Label output and common
- Show protective connection if present
- Reference terminal internal diagram

## Important distinction

An actuator terminal may look like a sensor terminal while serving a different connection arrangement.

## Facts

- Drawing role: Wiring interface
- Representation scope: Functional concept; not an official standard graphic or a product footprint
- Identifier status: The short label is a functional lookup label, not an assigned IEC or IEEE symbol number. Any separately listed Autodesk code is a verified vendor block name.
