I'm trying to create a set of additional components for use with the TikZ circuits library. Specifically I'm looking at electro-engineering diagrams with a focus on key diagrams.
Components in such diagrams correspond directly to hardware of a specific configuration and are used by the electricians to actually connect the components. As such they are annotated with their actual component number and also with the terminal numbers of the actual hardware.
A simple example is a relay coil. It would be labelled with the contactor number (e.g. "-K3") and the coil terminals would be labelled (typically "A1" and "A2").
I have created a new component and added a shape that draws well. The "-K3" in the example can be added using the label key. The "A1" and "A2" terminal annotations should preferably be drawn as a part of the node, not the edge. I've been looking around for a good way to do this, but examples are typically about multiport logic gates where the port names are inside the node. These should be outside, as shown.
What would be a good way to handle this? The code I have so far follows.
