The handle member has first and second extensions extending radially from the pivot point, and a plunger extending generally perpendicular to the first and second extensions and radially from the pivot point. The contactor assembly has an elongated conductor and a generally arcuate segment. The contactor assembly is coupled to a terminal within the enclosed space and the plunger engages the arcuate segment.
