The present invention relates to an automatic switch (1) to be used preferably in low-voltage systems. The automatic switch (1) comprises an outer casing (2) containing for each pole at least one fixed contact (10) and at least one mobile contact (20) housed in a corresponding seat (25) provided on a mobile element (50) operatively connected to a control mechanism (60) to enable its movement. The automatic switch (1) according to the invention comprises means for the support of the mobile element (50), which are constrained to a structural part (70) of the control mechanism (60). Said supporting means support the mobile element (50) through hinge connection means to provide a center of rotation for the mobile element itself.
