A device for switching an electric current with separable electrical contacts includes a switching mechanism including: a switching shaft that is coupled to a mobile electrical contact; a trip hook that is pivotably mounted on a fixed support of the mechanism; a linking system coupling the switching shaft to the trip hook. The linking system includes a first pair of connecting rods that are pivotably mounted on the trip hook and a second pair of connecting rods that are mounted so as to pivot with a crank of the switching shaft. The first connecting rods are connected to the second connecting rods with a single axis of articulation which forms a pivot link between the first connecting rods and the second connecting rods.

A push-button switch may include a housing, an operation unit, a lock lever unit, a transmission mechanism, a movement regulating portion, a contact mechanism, and a first biasing portion. The movement regulating portion enables movement of a lever body to a second position when an end of the operation unit on a housing portion side is positioned at an initial position, and disables movement of the lever body to the second position when the end of the operation unit on the housing portion side is positioned closer to an operation surface than the initial position in a movable direction. The first biasing portion biases the plunger from an operating position toward a return position.

The aim of the present invention is an electric switch of the normally closed type comprising a housing comprising a lower part that supports a fixed contact track, an internal contact blade that is resiliently deformable in order to assume a bottom rest position in order to establish an electric switching way, a first high non-stable position, in which the switching track is interrupted, and a second high stable position, in which the electric switching track is interrupted and in which the internal contact blade is locked such as by retractable locking means, and an actuator to control the deformations of the internal contact blade.

A switching module configured to apply power to a device is described. The switching module may comprise a first plurality of contact elements adapted to receive power and apply to power to the device in response to a control signal; a recess adapted to receive a control module; a second plurality of contact elements positioned within the recess and adapted to be coupled to corresponding contact elements of the control module; and a switching element that controls the application of the power to the device in response to a control signal; wherein the switching module is adapted to receive data from the control module to determine whether the control module is authorized to operate with the switching module.

An electronic protection device for a LV electric line, the protection device being provided with a control unit comprising a controller including digital data processing resources clocked by a first clock source adapted to provide a first flock signal with a first nominal clock frequency. The control unit comprises a clock testing arrangement adapted to check whether the first clock source is properly operating.

An assembly includes at least two disconnect terminals and at least one coupling device, wherein the at least two disconnect terminals each include at least one switching lever. Each switching lever is adjustable independently from the other switching lever from a first switch position into at least one second switch position and back, wherein the switching levers are connectable by the at least one coupling device. The at least one coupling device connects the switching levers if the at least one coupling device is switched into at least one first coupling position, and the at least one coupling device separates the switching levers from one another if the at least one coupling device is switched into at least one second coupling position. A disconnect terminal includes the at least one coupling device.

To provide a lever switch that reduces collision sound when a switch moving body rotates while reducing the number of parts. A click feeling generator is made integrally of an elastic member and disposed inside a third case. An operation lever is operated to rotate the switch moving body with respect to the third case. The click feeling generator includes clicking surfaces that abut on a tip end of the switch moving body to impart a click feeling, a shoulder portion, and a low rigidity portion. A corner portion of the switch moving body in the rotation direction abuts on the corresponding low rigidity portion to limit a rotation range of the switch moving body.
