Abstract
A switch and methods of assembling a switch. The switch may include a housing; a first terminal electrically coupled to a power source; a second terminal electrically coupled to a load; a contact having a first contact end and a second contact end, the contact being operable to be in a closed position, in which the first contact end engages the first terminal and the second contact end engages the second terminal such that the contact electrically connects the first terminal to the second terminal, and an open position, in which the contact does not electrically connect the first terminal and the second terminal; and a biasing member configured to bias the contact towards the first terminal and the second terminal, the biasing member being operable to apply a first biasing force proximate the first contact end and a second biasing force proximate the second connect end.
