Wiring for Replacement Cord Pull Advice Required

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:
Old cord pull
Old cord pull


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

New cord pull connections:
New cord pull
New cord pull


How do I wire up the new cord pull?

Cheers

Karl

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.
