Abstract
A contactor carriage fitted so as to move translationally in an electrical switch of a motor vehicle, in a unit providing controls under the steering wheel, in order to establish according to a user command, an electrical contact for one or more predefined positions of the path of the carriage is disclosed. The carriage has at least one electrical contacting emplacement, a first housing for accommodating a high-current contactor element and a second housing for accommodating a low-current contactor element. An electrical contact is established at said emplacement either by placing a high-current contactor element in the associated housing or by placing a low-current contactor element in said housing.
