A normally open contact is similar to a spring loaded switch, found in push buttons, and relays.
For a push button, when you push the button, the button head has a piece of metal that makes contact between two external screws, where the wires are attached.
For a relay, the concept is the same, but instead of pushing the button yourself, the relay would be turned on and off by an external electronic device.

What does nc and no mean in electrical terms?
nc: Normally Closed (contact is closed when power is not applied) no: Normally Open (contact is open when power is not applied) Applies to a relay ex...: when power is applied to a relay the no(Normally Open contact will close and allow current to flow between two terminals on relay).
A device that opens and closes a set of contacts when its coil is energize?
The device is a relay. A relay may have several sets of contacts, or sets of open and closed contacts that "change state" as the coil is energized.Changing state means that the normally open contact will close and the normally closed contact will open when the coil is energized.
What is the difference between normally close and normally open?
normally close relay is closed initially and when a signal arrive to it it will open and dont let the current pass i9n opposit to normally open
Is the pressure switch high Normally open or normally close?
A pressure switch can be normally open or normally closed. It depends on how it was made. The NO/NC should be marked somewhere on the switch. A pressure switch can be normally open or normally closed. It depends on how it was made. The NO/NC should be marked somewhere on the switch.
What are form A form B and form C contacts?
These are contact arrangements that can be found on switches and relays. The form designation is fairly old and rarely used now. Form A: a single, normally open contact that closes upon actuation. Form B: same as A, except in reverse. A normally closed contact that opens. Form C: A form A contact connected to a form B. The Form C contact has three wires, NO (normally open), NC (normally closed) and C (common). Upon actuation, the NO contact closes (continuity from NO-C) and the NC contact opens (no continuity from NC-C). It is more common now to see the following designations: Forms A and B can also be referred to as single pole-single throw: SPST-NO = Form A SPST-NC = Form B and Form C can be referred to as single pole-double throw: SPDT = Form C
What is Contact block 1N.O. 1N.C. 1N.O. scaled?
It is a contact block with three poles. Pole one is normally open, pole two is normally closed and pole three is normally open. These reading are taken in a de-energized condition. When energized the contacts will change status to closed, open and closed.
What does nc and no mean in electrical terms?
nc: Normally Closed (contact is closed when power is not applied) no: Normally Open (contact is open when power is not applied) Applies to a relay ex...: when power is applied to a relay the no(Normally Open contact will close and allow current to flow between two terminals on relay).
How can you make a light bulb go off when a door is opened?
Use a normally closed (NC) contact switch rather than a normally open (NO) momentary contact switch.
A device that opens and closes a set of contacts when its coil is energize?
The device is a relay. A relay may have several sets of contacts, or sets of open and closed contacts that "change state" as the coil is energized.Changing state means that the normally open contact will close and the normally closed contact will open when the coil is energized.
How does a normally closed contact work?
A normally closed contact is a switch or relay contact that is closed by default and opens when activated. When no external force is applied, the contact is closed, allowing current to flow through the circuit. When the circuit is energized or activated, the contact opens, interrupting the flow of current.
What is close contact relay?
A relay is an electrical switch. It consists of a electromagnetic coil and a set of mechanical contacts. Depending on the relay their could be multiple sets of mechanical contacts. The close contact lets current flow through the mechanical contacts when the relay is not turned on. When the relay is turned on current flow is stopped. This is called a normally closed contact or NC The open contact works the opposite of the closed and is referred to as a normally open contact or NO
How does an off delay timer work?
when off delay timer gets control signal, its NO(NORMALLY OPEN) contact become NC(NORMALLY CLOSED) for preset duration, and then become NO.
What is a nc contact?
An N.C. contact is 'Normally closed'. This applies to relays (electronic switches). You can use either a normally closedcontact or a normally open contact to do what you need, provided the relay has both and depending on your situation. Here's a recent example of mine: A building's fire alarm is wired to the HVAC system to shut down ventilation in case of a fire. In this case we want the HVAC to have power normally but remove power (with the relay) during a fire alarm. We would connect the HVAC power to the relay's N.C. (normally closed) contacts, because they are exactly that: normally closed. This would allow the HVAC to function. When power is applied to the relay, it would switch contacts, disconnecting power to the HVAC. An important note is that contacts and other electrical connections that can change condition (such as a relay) are described in a de-energizedstate. Thus, the N.C. contacts are normally closed, while the power to the relay is off. Likewise, a N.O. contact is open with relay de-energized but will close upon supplying power to the relay.
How does a normally open contact work?
An electrical switching device that in it's normal rest state does not conduct an electrical current. To become conductive an external force must be applied to change, (switch), it's physical state from open to closed.
Which relay terminal is the normally closed NC terminal?
The normally closed contact on a relay is the one that you can see physically touching each other. Remember that all readings are taken in the de energized state, e.g. no voltage applied to the relay's coil. When a relay is energized a Normally Closed (N.C.) contact will become open and vice versa a N.O. contact will become closed.
What is the difference between normally close and normally open?
normally close relay is closed initially and when a signal arrive to it it will open and dont let the current pass i9n opposit to normally open
Is a npn phototransistor normally open or normally closed?
It depends on the phototransistor's design. Most are normally open until you shine light on them.
