Hello, I have been reading an electrical manual in English, but written by a Swede. I found a phrase:
"Contact which straps acros the lock contact".
I could not find "to strap across" in any dictionary. Do you know what the author meant? That the contact is parallel to the lock contact ??
TIA, Tomasz / Poland
Spam trap in my e-mail address: "to_nie_ten_adres" -> "jakubwedrowycz"
It doesn't sound like english either but here is my guess. They mean it is the contact that completes the lock circuit. Maybe a little more of the context would help.
"Strap" sometimes refers to the flat metal spring a contact point would be mounted on in a switch or relay.
"Strap" can also be a connection on a terminal strip. When you "strap" a modem it means you are putting in jumpers or setting switches that configure it.
Straps is also a term used for the cables between 2 way light switches
