In plain English
What it does
70170-D is the drawing identifier for control-device socket or base in AutomationDirect's Timers and Sockets collection. A socket or base provides the mounting and connection interface for a compatible control device. Its drawing does not identify every device that could physically appear to fit it.
A simple example
For example, in a microgrid installation with a control panel where a plug-in device can be replaced without disturbing field wiring, use the 70170-D reference to coordinate socket terminals, retaining parts and plug-in removal route. Show the neighbouring equipment and the connection route so the installer can understand the intended arrangement.
What the drawings help you do
Use the reviewed native drawing identified as Relays and Timers/Timers and Sockets/70170-D.DWG for the exact physical details. Locate the named file in its original manufacturer archive. Manufacturer drawing previews are shown only when an exact approved source is available. Any illustrative 3D view is a separate concept and is not to scale; use the selected manufacturer documents for dimensions, ratings and installation details.
- Drawing identity
- The named manufacturer drawing used to identify the intended physical configuration.
- Interface
- The place where this part mounts, connects or meets another selected part.
- Service space
- The area needed to reach, disconnect or remove the selected equipment as instructed.
Before using this reference
- Match 70170-D, the native drawing identity and the project equipment schedule.
- Identify the compatible device and selected retention accessories.
- Coordinate socket terminals, retaining parts and plug-in removal route with neighbouring equipment.
- Confirm the current manufacturer installation instructions, selected revision and any required mounting or clearance details.

How to read it
- Keep socket terminals, retaining parts and plug-in removal route visible in the layout.
- This reference concerns the named 70170-D drawing and its control-device socket or base role. A drawing in the same collection is not automatic evidence of compatible terminals, mounts or electrical performance.
Information to show or reference
- Match 70170-D, the native drawing identity and the project equipment schedule.
- Identify the compatible device and selected retention accessories.
- Coordinate socket terminals, retaining parts and plug-in removal route with neighbouring equipment.
- Confirm the current manufacturer installation instructions, selected revision and any required mounting or clearance details.
A distinction that matters
This reference concerns the named 70170-D drawing and its control-device socket or base role. A drawing in the same collection is not automatic evidence of compatible terminals, mounts or electrical performance.
