Claim:
1. A switch for an electrical circuit, comprising: a base; a cam pivotally coupled to the base and having a first cam profile and a second cam profile; a solenoid operating in alternating first and second cycles, the first cycle including a first energized state and a first de-energized state and the second cycle including a second energized state and a second de-energized state; a link having a first portion coupled to the solenoid, and a second portion having a cam follower to follow the first cam profile; and a member configured to move with respect to the base between a first position and a second position, said member having a cam follower configured to follow the second cam profile by movement of said cam; when the solenoid operates in the first cycle, the cam follower of the link rotates the cam from a first position to a second position and the cam moves the cam follower of the member and moves the member from the second position to the first position, and when the solenoid operates in the second cycle, the cam follower of the member moves the member from the second position to the first position.
