ANSI/IEEE Mechanical stop latch in neutral state form
IEEE-library form of mechanical stop latch in neutral state: this form identifies the neutral state of the represented stop-latch mechanism.
In plain English
What does ANSI/IEEE Mechanical stop latch in neutral state form mean?
This reference locates mechanical stop latch in neutral state in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented mechanical controls family. This form identifies the neutral state of the represented stop-latch mechanism. Neutral describes the represented retaining mechanism, not every electrical contact belonging to the assembly. A state table provides the relationship between latch condition and contact states. The public library uses Q021209 for its horizontal representation; this is a vendor block name, not an IEEE standards symbol number.
A simple example
Read the operating mechanism and the contact reference state together. Cross-reference every associated contact to the same device and show which movement, signal or reset changes its condition; the symbol alone does not establish the complete switching sequence.
What the drawings help you do
Identify the associated mechanism and define the neutral condition in its operating sequence. Use separate contact and position references when those interfaces appear elsewhere in the schematic. Keep neutral and engaged states explicit in state or sequence documentation. Neutral is a mechanism state, not an assertion that every contact is open. The linked functional counterpart explains the same operating role in its own drawing context; agreement of every detailed convention mark is not asserted.

How to read it
- Keep neutral and engaged states explicit in state or sequence documentation.
- Neutral is a mechanism state, not an assertion that every contact is open.
Information to show or reference
- Identify the associated device, circuit or diagram boundary.
- Keep neutral and engaged states explicit in state or sequence documentation.
- Cross-reference the equipment data, terminal mapping or operating-state legend needed to interpret the form.
A distinction that matters
Neutral is a mechanism state, not an assertion that every contact is open.
