An electromechanical switching device for providing an electrical connection between terminals as a function of a switched state based on a manual activation, where the switching device has a rotatably mounted activation unit that can be activated manually and a switching unit which is connectable to the activation unit, the switching unit provides pat least two electrical terminals and electrically interconnects them as a function of the electrical switched state, for which purpose the switching unit has at least one switching element slideably mounted in a longitudinal direction of the switching device, the switching device has a coupling unit that mechanically interconnects the activation and switching units and that is configured to transmit the manual activation of the activation unit to the switching element of the switching unit, and where the electromechanical switching device is formed in a modular manner via at least the activation, coupling unit and switching units.

Modular electromechanical switching element

An expansion connection module is disclosed for connecting to at least two coil connectors of an electromagnetic switching device, in particular a contactor. In at least one embodiment, the expansion connection module includes a housing; at least one fastening device for fixing the expansion connection module to the electromagnetic switching device or to a switchgear unit positioned adjacent to the electromagnetic switching device; at least two connection openings and at least two terminal blocks associated with the at least two connection openings for the purpose of connecting voltage supply lines; and at least two flexible leads for electrically connecting the terminal blocks of the expansion connection module to the at least two coil connectors of the electromagnetic switching device.
