Abstract: An electrical contactor includes a moveable core member having a first moveable core surface and a second movable core surface. The second moveable core surface is angled relative to the first moveable core surface. A stationary core member is mounted relative to the moveable core member. The stationary core member includes a pole arm having a first stationary core surface and a second stationary core surface. The second stationary core surface is angled relative to the first stationary core surface. In response to a magnetic field traversing a path defined by the stationary core member and the moveable core member, the first stationary core surface is magnetically biased to mate with the first moveable core surface and the second stationary core surface is magnetically biased to mate with the second moveable core surface to bring into contact an electrical contact member and an electrical contact element.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electrical circuit making and breaking switch including a housing and a first electrical contact located in the housing. A block mechanism is located in the housing and includes a second electrical contact and a stopper disposed in mechanical communication with the second electrical contact. The stopper is positionable in the block mechanism, wherein a change in the position in the stopper results in a change in a contact position of the second electrical contact relative to the block mechanism. Further disclosed is a lateral block mechanism for an electrical circuit making and breaking switch. The lateral block mechanism includes two carrier assemblies and a connecting piece located between the two carrier assembles and secured thereto. An electrical contact is located at at least one of the two carrier assemblies.
