In a switching device (S) for electrical installations with a housing () having terminals (), it is proposed for increasing the safety margin against spark-over between electrically conducting outside sections of two adjacent, identically constructed switching elements to provide at least one shielding element () that is formed as one-piece on the housing in a region of the terminals (), or at least one recess (), indentation () and the like, for lengthening the leakage current path on at least one housing part and/or on at least one section formed on the housing (). In addition, in a switching device (S) for an electrical installations having a housing (), with at least one terminal (), means are provided for completely unscrewing the clamping screw () from the clamping opening () for easy insertion of ring cable lugs.
