Abstract
A break-contact block includes two identical half-housings that have compartments formed by partitions to accommodate bridge-like contacts and respective springs. Two foot sections with projections in different arrangements make it possible to maintain a smaller spacing or a larger spacing depending on the relative positions of the two half-housings that are joined together. This makes it possible to manufacture break-contact blocks for thick or thin busbars using identical parts.
