An electrical switching device, including a socket, a holder and electrical contacts housed in the holder. The holder includes a first end and a second end. The device includes a guidance device for guiding the first end of the holder relative to the socket. The device includes a fastener including a head, a tail, a first stem extending from the head to the tail, and a second stem extending from the head. The first stem is configured for passing through the holder and for being inserted at the tail into a first orifice of the socket, in order to retain the first end of the holder relative to the socket. A retaining member is configured for retaining the fastener, in order to rigidly connect the second end of the holder to the socket.

An auxiliary switch includes a housing including a first housing part and a second housing part separate from and releasably connected to the first housing part. A printed circuit board is fixedly mounted within the housing and has an electrical pad and an electrical contact connected to the electrical pad. A terminal conductor is electrically connected to the printed circuit board. An actuator mechanism is mounted within the housing and has an electrical contactor engaged to the terminal conductor. The actuator mechanism is configured to move within the housing and at least partially displace the electrical contact while maintaining engagement between the contactor and the terminal conductor.
