Abstract
A high amperage switch is provided for interrupting flow of power through a circuit. First and second connectors are connected in the circuit with the circuit being open between the first and second connectors. An electrically conductive bridging member includes first and second complementary-shaped connectors respectively mateable with the first and second connectors for electrically coupling the first and second connectors together when the bridging member is in the closed position and interrupting the circuit when the bridging member is in an open position. The bridging member is moveable between the closed and opened positions. The present invention is particularly well adapted for use in a vehicle having an electrical circuit for supplying power from a battery on the vehicle to at least one electrical component used on the vehicle.
