Part numbers with a leading 0 are functionally no different than without a leading 0 (ex.: 0E13-00E0 is the same switch as E13-00E0). Quick-connect terminals are standard; for custom screw terminals, contact the factory or your distributor. For configurable part numbers not listed above or for custom part numbers, contact the factory or your distributor
