Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a contact device (200) for a switching pole (100) of an electric and/or electronic application, such as a circuit breaker, with an inner terminal (211, 221, 231, 241, 251) for electrically connecting the contact device (200) to a moving contact (103) of the switching pole (100), and an outer terminal (212, 222, 232, 242, 252) for electrically connecting the contact device (200) to a terminal (105, 107) of the switching pole (100). The proposed solution offers the combination of a low electrical resistance with a high mechanical flexibility. A braided flexible structure (213, 223, 233) is provided extending in a plane for electrically connecting the inner terminal (211, 221, 231, 241, 251) with the outer terminal (212, 222, 232, 242, 252) such that the inner terminal (211, 221, 231, 241, 251) is movable relative to the outer terminal (212, 222, 232, 242, 252) and in a direction (224) traverse to the plane from an off-position (290) to an on-position (292) of the switching pole (100).
