The male connector on one face can be coupled to the female connector on another electromagnetic switch, forming a line or chain of electromagnetic switches.
Claims26
An apparatus, comprising:
- an electromagnetic switch having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, where a male part of a connector is on the first side and a female part of the connector is on the second side,
- the electromagnetic switch having a passageway connecting the male part of the connector on the first side to the female part of the connector on the second side;
- the electromagnetic switch having an output port where the electromagnetic switch is configured to switchably connect the output port to the passageway.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a means for switchably connecting an output port to a passageway where the passageway connects a first face to a second face, opposite the first face;
- a means for removably coupling the first face of the apparatus to the second face on an identical apparatus where the passageway in the apparatus would couple to the passageway in the identical apparauts.
