[0022] The moving contact 1 is connected to the threaded hole 3a of the U-shaped insert 3 through the threaded hole 1a.
[0023] The stationary contact 2 is connected to the threaded hole 3a of the U-shaped insert 3 through the threaded hole 2a.
[0024] The U-shaped insert 3 is provided with two rows of busbars 3b, and a heat dissipation groove 3c is provided on the U-shaped insert 3 between the busbars 3b.
