Abstract

An electrical switching arrangement for an electric contacting system of an airbag having a short circuit bridge arrangement in a plug, which includes a counter-contact casing and a contact sleeve casing of plastic. In the two casings, there are provided chambers in which are seated connectors connected to electric lines. The casings of the plug are hinged with one another, and a short circuit bridge is provided, in each case, between adjacent contacts in such a way that on opening of the plug, the adjacent contacts are short-circuited first before the connectors of the plug are separated. The contact sleeve casing is constructed substantially in slab form and includes a surrounding casing and an inner casing. The inner casing includes side walls and two front walls, as well as a cover wall and a bottom wall.
