ABSTRACT:
An electrical switching apparatus is disclosed for making or breaking a plurality of electrical connections substantially simultaneously. The apparatus includes a planar substrate, a first set of electrical terminals arrayed on the substrate in a pattern providing mating pairs of terminals displaced by a distance, an actuator having a contact effecting surface and carrying thereon a plurality of moveable bridging contacts which are in substantial registration each with a respective mating pair of terminals. The actuator response to application of an actuating force toward the substrate to establish bridging contact by the bridging contact between each of the mating pairs of terminals substantially simultaneously. In the preferred embodiment a plurality of such switching apparati are actuated by a common actuating shaft.
