Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a contact switching device having a smaller height dimension. For this, there is provided a contact switching device in which a movable iron core (142) provided at one end portion of a movable shaft (145) is attracted to a fixed iron core (138), based on excitation and degauss of an electromagnet portion, by which the movable shaft (145) reciprocates in a shaft center direction, and a movable contact (148a) of a movable contact piece (148) arranged at another end portion of the movable shaft (145) contacts and departs from a fixed contact (133a). Two coil springs (147a, 147b) different in length and diameter are put on the movable shaft (145), and one of the coil springs (147a) is arranged inside the other coil spring (147b).
