The present invention relates to a switching device for opening and closing a load circuit, in particular in an electric vehicle, having at least one switch contact which can be moved from an open position into a closed position and which is held at a distance from a counter-contact in the open position and is in electrically conductive abutment with the counter-contact in the closed position. The invention further relates to a method for switching a load circuit, in particular in an electric vehicle, at least one switch contact being moved from an open position into a closed position and thereby being brought into electrically conductive contact with a counter-contact. In order to provide the most compact, light, cost-effective and reliable switching and separation unit for load currents, it is provided according to the invention that, in a safety position, the at least one switch contact is held separated from the counter-contact in order to protect the load circuit.
