Claim 0:
1. A switch comprising:
a pair of electrodes serving as a stationary electrode and a movable electrode;
a handler including a first mover to operate in withdrawing the movable electrode from the stationary electrode and closing the movable electrode toward the stationary electrode;
a second mover connected to the movable electrode;
an elastic connected between the first mover and the second mover to press, in a contracted state, the movable electrode against the stationary electrode; and
an attenuator to attenuate contraction of the elastic when the movable electrode is withdrawn from the stationary electrode after the elastic has stretched from the contracted state, wherein
the attenuator attenuates contraction of the elastic that is caused by continued movement of the second mover as opposed to deceleration of the first mover.
