ABSTRACT:
A ground fault circuit interrupter includes a circuit board, a magnetic relay, and an armature. The circuit board has an opening and the magnetic relay is mounted on a first side of the circuit board and aligned with the opening. The armature assembly is pivotally mounted on the second side of the circuit board and has an armature contact and moves pivotally into and out of an engaged position in which the armature contact engages a stationary contact on the second side of the circuit board.
