Abstract:
A modular electrical contact switch, comprising:an active contact assembly comprising a first end active contact module and a second end active contact module, the first and second end active contact modules having a top side, a bottom side, a first side, a second side, a front side and a back side, the first and second end active contact modules having a spring-biased contact extending from the front side, the first end active contact module first side having a first coupling surface, the second end active contact module second side having a second coupling surface, the first and second end coupling surfaces adapted for removable coupling therewith; and a passive contact assembly comprising a first end passive contact module and a second end passive contact module, the first and second end passive contact modules having a top side, a bottom side, a first side, a second side, a front side and a back side, the first and second end passive contact modules having a passive contact adjacent the front side, the first end passive contact module first side having a first coupling surface, the second end passive contact module second side having a second coupling surface, the first and second end coupling surfaces adapted for removable coupling therewith, wherein contact between each active contact and passive contact closes an electrical circuit.
