A contact bridge arrangement for an electrical switch is disclosed that has a contact bridge holder and a contact bridge. The contact bridge holder is monolithically formed with a spring. The contact bridge is held on the contact bridge holder and movable along an actuating direction. The contact bridge is pressed against the contact bridge holder by the spring.

A contact device includes a pair of fixed contacts, a movable contactor, a contactor holder, a movable shaft, and a base. The pair of fixed contacts are aligned in a first direction. The movable contactor comes into or out of contact with the pair of fixed contacts in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The contactor holder holds the movable contactor. The movable shaft moves the contactor holder in the second direction so that the movable contactor comes into or out of contact with the fixed contacts. The base accommodates the fixed contacts, the movable contactor, and the contactor holder. The base has a projection projecting from a position opposing the contactor holder in a third direction orthogonal to both the first and second directions.
