Patent ID: 7889033

Claim:
An electromagnetic switching device for at least one of connecting and disconnecting a branch, comprising: a. a housing including i. a length along a longitudinal direction, ii. a first end side, oriented substantially at right angles with respect to the longitudinal direction, and iii. a second end side, opposite the first end side and oriented substantially at right angles to the longitudinal direction, b. a control coil, arranged in the housing, for actuating an electrical switch with i. at least one first coil contact, and ii. at least one second coil contact, c. a first connection element, arranged at least partially in the housing and associated with the first coil contact, and d. a second connection element, arranged at least partially in the housing and associated with the second coil contact, the first and second connection elements being displaceable in the longitudinal direction relative to the housing between a first and a second end position in such a way to be i. freely accessible on at least one of the end sides in the first end position, ii. freely accessible on at least the other of the end sides in a second end position, and iii. electrically connected to the respectively associated coil contacts, both in the first end position and in the second end position.
