Abstract
An electrical switch includes a switching contact arrangement, an interchangeable release block and a locking element. A first operating surface is formed on the locking element, which can be moved from a locked position to an unlocked position. The first operating surface allows the release block to be secured from being removed from the switch, when the locking element is in its locked position.
