Abstract:
A contact arrangement has a longitudinal axis (z) and comprises a first contact group (3a, 4a) with a first contact (3a) and a second contact (4a) and a second contact group (3b, 4b) with a third contact (3b) and a fourth contact (4b). The first contact (3a) interacts electrically and mechanically with the third contact (3b),and/or the second contact (4a) interacts electrically and mechanically with the fourth contact (4b), for closing and opening the contact arrangement. At least one mechanical coupling (2) is provided for transmitting an actuation force to the second contact group (3b, 4b) and thereby moving the second contact group (3b, 4b). The at least one mechanical coupling (2) is adapted to move the third and the fourth contact (3b, 4b) in such a way that their speeds differ along at least a portion of a travel path of the third contact (3b) or along at least a portion of a travel path of the fourth contact (4b).
