Siemens 24-48 AC/DC Current Shed Coil 1 Module 5ST3031

Auxiliary contacts are secondary switching devices that operate in conjunction with primary switching equipment such as circuit breakers, relays, and contactors. These contacts are physically connected to the main switching mechanism and are activated simultaneously.

What are they used for? Auxiliary contacts are used for various functions, e.g. self-holding, consent/block, signaling, interlocking.

The switch equipped with electronic protection release (also called throw coil) is a switch that is opened, in case of failure, by an electromechanical actuator (opening solenoid) activated by an electronic device able to elaborate a signal proportional to the current that crosses the power contacts.
