An electrical switching arrangement comprising an electrical conductive plate (P) resting on a spring (M) which in turn is supported by a stationary base (B), said plate bearing at least one movable contact (C3 or C4), and at least one lower stationary contact (C1 or C2) apt to engage at least said movable contact (C3 or C4), and at least one push button for applying an operating force (F) to said plate (P), one of which movable contacts (C3 or C4), as a result of the lowering of the push button for applying force (F), engaging one of said stationary contacts (C1 or C2), which operating push button presses said plate, bearing at least one movable contact (C3 or C4) at a position between a point of substantial alignment with said movable contact (C3 or C4) and any point whatsoever between said movable contact and the spring (M). A switch carried out in accordance with said switching arrangement.
