Abstract
A method of adjusting an electrical switch arrangement comprising a pair of electrical contact members to a predetermined contact spacing is suggested. A first one of the contact members is associated with a first contact carrier and a second one of the contact members is associated with a second contact carrier. The first and second contact members are normally spaced from each other by the predetermined contact distance and are movable relative to each other across the contact distance. At least one of the contact members is displaceably held on the associated contact carrier. The contact carriers are moved towards each other across the predetermined contact distance. The one of the contact members is displaced relative to the associated contact carrier into physical contact with the other of the contact members. The one contact member is fixed in position on the associated contact member while physically contacting the other of the contact members.
