Abstract

The switch has a contact lever (1) provided with a main contact, brought into contact with a second main contact upon pivoting the contact lever about a pivot pin (2) fitting through an opening (6) in the contact lever. The opening has 2 successive sections (6b,6c) respectively providing rotation of the pivot lever and movement in a plane parallel to the pivot axis after the main contacts are brought into contact.
