### Key Electronic Components
#### 1. Magnetic Contactor
The heart of the device is the magnetic contactor. When the **120V AC coil (V02 suffix)** is energized, it creates an electromagnetic field that pulls the power contacts closed, allowing high-voltage electricity to flow to the motor.
#### 2. The Coil (V02 Code)
The "V02" in the part number specifically designates the coil voltage. This part is designed to interface with standard North American control circuits (120V).
- **Frequency:** Operates on both 50Hz and 60Hz.
- **Inrush/Sealed VA:** The coil draws higher current initially to close the contacts (Inrush) and then drops to a lower current to hold them closed (Sealed).
#### 3. Overload Relay Block
This unit features a "Melting Alloy" overload relay.
- **Thermal Units:** It requires the installation of "B-type" thermal heaters (sold separately) matched to the motor's Full Load Amps (FLA).
- **Protection:** If the motor draws too much current, the heat melts a low-temperature alloy in the heater, tripping a mechanical link that opens the control circuit and shuts down the motor.
#### 4. Auxiliary Contacts
The "S" suffix often denotes specific configurations or separate control features. Standard Type S starters usually include one normally open (N.O.) auxiliary contact, used for "holding" the circuit in place when a momentary "Start" button is used.
