Abstract
An improved switch head for engaging and making electrical contact between first and second stationary electrical conductors. The switch head comprises lower and upper insulating head sections, biasing means and a contact slug contained within the lower insulating head section for contacting and making electrical connection with the first and second stationary conductors, and clamping means for holding the lower and upper insulating head sections together. The clamping means places the lower and upper insulating head sections in compression when the switch head engages the first and second stationary conductors. The clamping means also applies a force to the lower head section to disengage the switch head from the first and second stationary conductors.
