An electrical switch including a jaw assembly electrically connected to a first electrical conductor. The electrical switch further including a housing assembly electrically connected to a second electrical conductor. The electrical switch further including a blade assembly including a rocker assembly configured to enable rotation of said blade assembly, said rocker assembly having a first rocker component and second rocker component, wherein said first rocker component includes a first rocker pin, and wherein said second rocker component includes a second rocker pin that depresses when said first rocker pin is depressed. The electrical switch further including a blade catch configured to engage said jaw assembly to maintain said electrical switch in a closed position when said blade assembly is rotated about an axis.

A current cut-off device 1 includes a plate-shaped terminal piece 2 having a contact 21, a movable piece 4 including an elastic portion 44 formed in a plate shape so as to be elastically deformed and a movable contact 41 arranged at one end portion of the elastic portion 44 and having the movable contact 41 so as to be pressed against and in contact with the contact 21, and a thermally actuated element 5 which biases the movable piece 4 by deforming in accordance with a temperature change and causes a state of the movable piece 4 to be shifted from a conductive state in which the movable contact 41 is in contact with the contact 21 to a cut-off state in which the movable contact 41 is separated from the contact 21. When the state of the movable piece 4 is shifted from the conductive state to the cut-off state, as the movable contact 41 moves, it gets over the contact 21.

A circuit interrupter includes: a first fixed terminal including a first fixed contact; a movable contactor which is formed as a separate part from the first fixed terminal and includes a first movable contact; a holding unit configured to hold the movable contactor so that the first movable contact is connected to the first fixed contact; and a squib configured to generate gas by combustion. In the circuit interrupter, pressure of the gas generated by the squib causes movement of the movable contactor in a direction away from the first fixed terminal so that the first movable contact is separated from the first fixed contact.
