Abstract
An auxiliary contact mounting block for electromagnetic switching devices, having a housing comprising two shells, a hook, which is able to mate with a marginal ledge of the switching device while facing the switching device during mounting, and a ratchet, which latches with parts of the switching device in the mounted condition. The ratchet and the hook are premolded as whole pieces on respective ones of the two shells. A bezelled crossbar is premolded in front of the entry slot for the supply leads on the shell with the ratchet so that the entry slot is divided into two entry slots for the supply leads.
