AutomationDirect 70170-D control-device socket or base

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.

Drawing use: GA
Application: Equipment layouts
Reference family: Manufacturer

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.
