Wiring for Replacement Cord Pull Advice Required Ask questions and find answers to many subjects relating to electrics and electrical work

I'm replacing two cord pulls for extractor fans.

The old cord pull has four electric terminals, however, the replacement only has 3.

Original cord pull connections:

Black and red wires go into both IN terminals and the right hand terminals.

New cord pull connections:

How do I wire up the new cord pull?

Cheers

Difficult to see if you have two red cores in the first picture.
I will assume you have!
The existing pull cord is a double pole switch, meaning it isolates/switches both line and neutral conductors.

The new one you have, is single pole only, to copy the existing wiring you require a double pole switch.
