Abstract
A pivoting electrical connected useable in a molded case circuit breaker including a pair of contact plates for contacting the circular contact member of a contact carrying arm. The pivoting electrical connection provides at least three contact locations between the contact plates and the circular contact member. The contact locations provide current paths between a first terminal coupled to the contact plates and an electrical contact fixed to the contact carrying arm. The pivoting electrical connection allows the contact on the arm and an electrical contact coupled to a second terminal to be opened and closed.
