Claim 12:
13. A circuit interrupting device comprising:
a circuit board;
a line conductor for electrically connecting to an external power supply;
a load conductor for electrically connecting to an external load, the load conductor including a load terminal;
a face conductor for electrically connecting to another external load, the face conductor including a face terminal;
a brush conductor in electrical communication with the line conductor and movable between a closed position and an open position, the brush conductor including a first terminal selectively contacting the face terminal and a second terminal selectively contacting the load terminal; and
a latch assembly including,
a housing movable between along an axis and biasing the brush conductor toward the closed position, and
a latch plate supported in the housing and movable relative to the housing in the first direction, wherein actuation of a solenoid moves the latch plate in the first direction, thereby releasing the housing to move along the axis.
