Specifically, the connecting plate 11 is an integrally formed structure, specifically a convex-shaped plate with an open top, the top of the convex-shaped plate extends to one side to form the two connecting plate mounting portions 11a, and the bottom end plate of the convex-shaped plate extends to the other side to form a connecting plate wiring portion 11b for wiring.

[0037] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the movable contact assembly 10 of this embodiment further includes a contact support 16, and the operating mechanism drives the movable contact 13 through the contact support 16. The contact support 16 is provided with a transmission shaft 160 for driving and connecting with the operating mechanism. The pivoting installation part between the movable contact 13 and the connecting plate 11 is limited in the receiving groove 16c of the contact support 16.
