Abstract: The invention relates to a switching device including a housing having a front housing and a rear housing. The rear housing includes a rear housing face, and a first sidewall, first end a second sidewall, and a second end wall projecting from the rear housing face to form at least one interior chamber. The sidewalls of the rear housing include a rear housing tab that projects away from the rear housing face. The switching device further includes a splitter plate support, comprising first and second support panels, located within the interior chamber. The first support panel further includes a support hook that extends from the outer panel face. The support hook has an aperture that engages the rear housing tab, in which the rear housing tab extends through the aperture of the support hook, forming a double-walled panel and reinforcing the housing.

Abstract: A coupler between an activator mounted on an enclosure and an electronic protection device located within the enclosure facilitates alignment between the coupler and the electronic protection device during installation and requires no tool for installation. The coupler is positioned over an opening in the electronic protection device and oriented such that a first coupling portion is configured to engage a complementary coupling portion on the electronic protection device. The coupler may be manually mounted, engaging the complementary coupling portions on the door handle coupler and the electronic protection device without requiring a tool for installation. The coupler includes an upper sleeve configured to receive an axle, connected to the activator, that rotates independently of a lower sleeve which is mounted to the electronic protection device, facilitating orientation of the activator on the outside of the enclosure. The coupler provides for local lock-out of the electronic protection device.
