# ANSI/IEEE Latched lever-operated switch form Canonical URL: https://eloragrid.ai/symbols/ansi-latched-lever-operated-switch Publisher: Elora Grid Updated: 2026-10-28 Lookup label: HPB11LSL Drawing use: Schematic Reference families: IEEE / ANSI, Manufacturer ## Symbol convention Convention: IEEE / ANSI Form: Lever Switch Latched,Normally Open Autodesk IEEE Symbol Preview: Miscellaneous Switches, block HPB11LSL. Matching functional counterpart linked separately. Independently drawn educational geometry; not a certified IEEE glyph or database identifier. Related representation: [Latched lever-operated switch](https://eloragrid.ai/symbols/iec-latched-lever-operated-switch) IEEE-library form of latched lever-operated switch: this representation distinguishes a lever actuator with a maintained or latched operated state. ## In plain English ### What does ANSI/IEEE Latched lever-operated switch form mean? This reference locates latched lever-operated switch in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented miscellaneous switches family. This representation distinguishes a lever operating mechanism with a maintained or latched operated state. The public library uses HPB11LSL 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 Cross-reference the retained position and its release mechanism. The lever mechanism and contact state remain separate aspects of the circuit. Cross-reference the retained position and its release mechanism. The lever mechanism and contact state remain separate aspects of the circuit. The linked functional counterpart explains the same operating role in its own drawing context; agreement of every detailed convention mark is not asserted. ### This particular reference IEEE-library form of latched lever-operated switch: this representation distinguishes a lever operating mechanism with a maintained or latched operated state. The lever mechanism and contact state remain separate aspects of the circuit. ### Terms - Normally open / normally closed: The contact state in the normal condition defined for the drawing. - Signal: Electrical information passed between devices, rather than necessarily the main power supply. - Rating: A value stating the conditions for which equipment is specified. Concept diagram: Identify the device and form → Read the connections and state → Check the equipment reference A guide to reading this reference. The original symbol illustration and its drawing notes appear below; these boxes are not a wiring diagram. - [Autodesk IEEE Symbol Preview — Miscellaneous Switches](https://help.autodesk.com/cloudhelp/2021/ENU/AutoCAD-Electrical/files/GUID-278F6C21-B1A6-4EA1-A535-E78D53BBD10D.htm) ## What it represents This reference locates latched lever-operated switch in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented miscellaneous switches family.
