ABSTRACT:
The secondary latch of a molded case circuit breaker latching arrangement is formed from a latching pin assembly with a solid metal latching sphere rotatably mounted at one end thereof. The latching sphere contacts the operating mechanism latching plate to provide a low-friction latching force to the circuit breaker operating mechanism. The latching sphere contacts the latching plate and is continuously lubricated by means of a lubrication reservoir integrally-formed within the latch pin assembly.
