Claim 16:
17. A method comprising:
coupling a movable platform of a plunger to an electrical switch, the plunger to move along a linear motion path, the movable platform having first and second contacts, the first and second contacts electrically coupled via the movable platform;
aligning the first and second contacts to third and fourth contacts, respectively, of a stationary portion of the electrical switch so that the third and fourth contacts can be brought into contact with the first and second contacts, respectively, to define a current path of an electrical circuit associated with the first, second, third and fourth contacts when the movable platform is moved along the linear motion path; and
aligning fifth and sixth contacts of the movable platform to seventh and eighth contacts, respectively, of the stationary portion such that when the first and second contacts are moved away from the third and fourth contacts due to movement of the plunger along the linear motion path, the fifth and sixth contacts are brought into contact with the seventh and eighth contacts, respectively.
