Abstract:
1. A high-power breaker switch comprising: a connector housing having plug-in contact elements, the connector housing further having a blocking lever; a socket housing having socket contacts, the socket housing further having a gear wheel rack; an operating lever having a gear wheel pivotably mounted to the connector housing and engaged to the gear wheel rack of the socket housing to thereby pivotably mount the connector housing to the socket housing such that the connector housing is movable with the operating lever relative to the socket housing between a starting position and a final position, wherein the gear wheel rotates within the gear wheel rack along a plane of rotation as the connector housing along with the operating lever move between the starting and final positions, wherein in the starting position the connector housing is disengaged from the socket housing such that the plug-in contact elements are disengaged from the socket contacts, wherein in the final position the connector housing is engaged with the socket housing such that the plug-in contact elements are engaged and electrically connected with the socket contacts; wherein in the starting position the blocking lever engages a first gap of the gear wheel of the operating lever to maintain the connector housing along with the operating lever in the starting position; wherein in the final position the blocking lever engages a second gap of the gear wheel of the operating lever to maintain the connector housing along with the operating lever in the final position; a surrounding housing connected to the socket housing between the connector housing and the socket housing, the surrounding housing having a control edge that releases the blocking lever from the gear wheel to enable the connector housing along with the operating lever to be movable between the starting and final positions.
