Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems for providing a switching component are disclosed herein. An example switching component may comprise: a housing; a moveable carrier a moveable carrier disposed within the housing; at least one integrated moveable contact assembly, the moveable contact assembly comprising a substrate, a set of moveable contacts disposed on a first surface of the substrate and a guiding element surrounding at least a portion of the substrate, wherein at least a portion of the guiding element is configured to abut a surface of the moveable carrier; and a set of stationary contacts adjacent the set of moveable contacts, wherein the set of moveable contacts is configured to move with two degrees of freedom to make contact with the set of stationary contacts in order to actuate an electrical bridge in response to movement of the moveable carrier.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems for providing a switching component are disclosed herein. An example switching component may comprise: A switching component comprising: a housing; a carrier body disposed within the housing; a first pair of contact pads disposed on a first surface of the carrier body; and a second pair of contact pads disposed on a second surface of the carrier body, wherein each pair of contact pads is configured to independently make contact with adjacent bridge contact pads in order to actuate an electrical bridge in response to movement of the carrier body.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems for providing a switching component are disclosed herein. An example switching component may include: a housing, a moveable carrier disposed within the housing, a set of moveable contacts, wherein a central body of the set of moveable contacts is disposed flush between a first surface of the moveable carrier and a second surface of the moveable carrier, and a set of stationary contacts adjacent the set of moveable contacts, wherein the set of moveable contacts is configured to move with a degree of freedom to make contact with the set of stationary contacts in order to actuate an electrical bridge in response to movement of the moveable carrier.
