  Circuitry

Contact arrangement available in choice of double pole double throw (DPDT) or double pole single throw (DPST), either normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC).

In general, normally open may be specified by changing suffix number from 00 to 01 and normally closed by changing suffix number to 02.

Example:
E19-00A is double throw
E19-01A is normally open
E19-02A is normally closed
