Claim 0:
1. A magnetic switching arrangement, comprising:
a first contact;
a second contact, at least one of the first and second contacts including a magnetic field emanating therefrom;
a biaser operably connected to one of the first and second contacts and biasing the one of the first and second contact out of electrical connection with the other of the first and second contacts such that a closed circuit is achieved in the presence of an external force causing closure of the first and second contacts;
a magnetic field configuration positionable to interact with the magnetic field emanating from the at least one of the first and second contacts, the magnetic field configuration supplying the external force, and
further including a locking mechanism that locks the first and second contacts in electrical contact with one another following positioning of the magnetic field configuration in magnetic field communication with the magnetic field of the at least one of the first sand second contacts.
