arranged on the secondary contact (25,55) and, during the pivoting-back movement, causes air to flow onto the free end of the secondary contact (25,55) and has an effective resistance area FS of at least FS = 0.0005 * LN * LN and at most FS = 0.01 * LN * LN, wherein the resistance area FS is that area of the flow element (27,57,58) which extends in the longitudinal direction of the secondary contact arm (21,51) and in the direction of the secondary pivot axis (22,52). having a fixed main counter-bearing (04,34) and having a main pivot bearing, which defines a main pivot axis (12,42), and

axis (12,42) from the initial position as far as the free position via the intermediate position, having a fixed secondary counter-bearing (05,35), and having a secondary pivot bearing (23,53), which (23,53) defines a secondary pivot axis (22,52), wherein the secondary pivot axis (22,52) is positioned on the main contact arm (11,41) parallel to and at a distance from the main pivot axis (12,42), and having a secondary contact arm (21,51), which (21,51) comprises a secondary contact (25,55) at one end and is mounted on the secondary pivot bearing (23,53) at the opposite end and is pivotable about the secondary pivot axis (22,52) from a contact position to a limit position and back to a rest position and has a secondary-arm length LN from the secondary pivot axis (22,52) as far as the end of the secondary contact (25,55), and having a tensioning device, which connects the secondary contact arm to the main contact arm and is tensioned during the pivoting movement of the secondary contact arm (21,51) from the contact position into the limit position, wherein the secondary pivot bearing (23,53) is adjustable in a plane transverse to the secondary pivot axis (22,52) from an initial position into a free position via an intermediate position, wherein, during an adjustment from the initial position to the intermediate position, the secondary contact (25,55) abuts against the secondary counter-bearing (05,35) and a pivoting movement from the contact position to the limit position takes place, and wherein, when the intermediate position is exceeded during an adjustment to the free position, the tensioning device causes a pivoting-back movement of the secondary contact arm (21,51) from the limit position into the rest position and the secondary contact (25,55) is at
