JIC STANDARD GRAPHIC SYMBOLS FOR ELECTRICAL LADDER DIAGRAMS

These graphic symbols are the ones used most often Builders Association). They have been extracted from the
on ladder diagrams for fluid power electrical control circuits. Appendix of the NMTBA Specification EGPl-1967. Remember
They are standard JIC (Joint Industrial Council) symbols as that JIC Standards are advisory only. Their use in industry or
approved and adopted by the NMTBA (National Machine Tool trade is entirely voluntary.

DEVICE DESIGNATIONS PB - Pushbutton SOC - Socket

These abbreviations are intended for use on diagrams in POT - Potentiometer SOL - Solenoid
connection with the corresponding symbol from the charts PRS - Proximity Switch SS - Selector Switch
above to amplify the information on the function of a device. PS - Pressure Switch T - Transformer
Suitable prefix numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) may be added to dis- R - Reverse TAS - Temp. Actuated Switch
tinguish between several similar devices. Suffix letters (A, B, REC - Rectifier TB - Terminal Block
C, D, etc.) may be added to distinguish between several sets RECEP - Receptacle T/C - Thermocouple
of contacts on the same device. RES - Resistor TGS - Toggle Switch
