Abstract

A bus bar (14) is provided with a stationary resilient contact (15) which has a pair of knife edges (16) separated by a slit. A pair of guide pins (30) extending laterally from the opposite sides of an actuator (6) moves the actuator relative to the stationary contact. The guide grooves (32) are formed on the walls of a housing chamber, to receive the guide pins.
