ABSTRACT:
A contact arrangement has a contact spring which is prestressed against a seating edge of an actuation element by a prestress bend. The pre-stress bend lies at an angle of between 0 through 30 degrees relative to the seating edge so that roll-off is produced at the contact location. Such contact arrangement is especially advantageous for switching high-current loads since roll-off at the contact location reduces the welding tendency and makes an easier break-open of the contact when the contact is opening if there is a slight welding of the contacts.
