Abstract: A method for producing a switching device with a switching device with a switching structure (1). The method includes producing a molded part, which includes a cage formed by opposing first sidewalls (5) and a bottom wall (6) integrally connecting the first sidewalls, and second sidewalls (23) integrally connected to the cage assembly, severing the molded part at a point where the second sidewalls are connected to the cage, and inserting the cage and the severed second sidewalls into a bottom part such that a defined gap (27) is left, respectively, between the cage and the second sidewalls.

Abstract: The invention relates to a switching device with a switching structure (1), which includes a cage assembly (21) having two opposite first sidewalls (5) and a bottom wall (6) integrally connecting the first sidewalls. The cage assembly (21) is at least partly configured as a cage (24) in which a slide (4) is displaceably arranged. A moving contact bridge (3) associated with stationary contact members is held in an opening (15) of the slide (4) under the pressure of a contact pressure spring (2). A clearance (26) is provided between the two first sidewalls (5) for the displacement of the contact bridge (3). A limit stop (18) is provided to retain the slide (4). Arcing chambers (7) formed by insulating second sidewalls (23) form part of the switching structure (1).
