A switch device comprises at least one switch comprising in a casing at least one fixed contact cooperating with a mobile contact movable in a switching chamber by a tripping mechanism. The casing comprises a base fastened to walls which delimit a channel constituting the switching chamber which cooperates with a closure module carrying an electrical conductor which connects the fixed contact to a connecting terminal, the combination of the casing and the module constituting the switching chamber. This design facilitates industrial manufacture of the device and improves its insulating and operating qualities.
