A contact bridge arrangement for an electrical switch, such as a contactor or a relay, is disclosed. The contact bridge arrangement comprises a contact bridge having a contact bridge body, an actuating member on which the contact bridge is held that is movable with respect to the contact bridge along an actuating direction, the actuating member having a stop and a spring base, and a spring disposed between the spring base and the contact bridge body pressing the stop against the contact bridge.

Contact bridge arrangement for an electrical switching element

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.

An electrical switch comprising a solenoid assembly including a core casing having a first bearing site and a bearing bush having a second bearing site, an armature movably borne in a switching direction at the first bearing site, and an armature shaft fixed to and movable with the armature and movably borne in the switching direction at the second bearing site.

The invention relates to a switch contact subassembly () having a switch contact bridge () and a resilient element (), for example, for an operating current of a switching element which switches an electric or hybrid motor vehicle. In order to be able to produce the switch contact subassembly () in a cost-effective and simple manner, there is provision according to the invention for the switch contact subassembly () to have a contact bridge retention member (), the contact bridge retention member () having a securing base () for securing to an actuation member () for the switching element and at least one retention member () for positioning the switch contact bridge ().

The invention relates to a line protection switch () for protecting an electrical load circuit from an over-current which exceeds a permissible load current. In order to provide a structurally simple, compact and rapidly actuating line protection switch, it is provided with a switching member () which can be moved from an operating position into a protection position. Contact elements (A,C) of the line protection switch () which can be connected to the load circuit are closed in the operating position and opened in the protection position. The line protection switch () according to the invention further has a retention member () which produces a magnetic retention field (MH) which is independent of the load current and by means of which the switching member () is retained in the operating position, and a counter-force member () which is independent of the load current and by means of which the switching member () is retained in the protection position. There is further provided an actuation member () which can be moved with the switching member () and through which load current flows in the operating position and which produces a magnetic actuation field (MA) which is dependent on the load current and which is superimposed on the magnetic retention field (MH).
