A multipole switching device for selectively switching electrical power from an electrical power source to a load circuit. The switching device comprises a first control device comprising a housing, an electromechanical actuator in the housing including a movable plunger, and an electrical switch. A pin operatively connects the plunger to the electrical switch. A second control device comprises a housing mountable adjacent the first control device, an electromechanical actuator in the housing including a movable plunger, and an electrical switch. A pin operatively connects the plunger to the electrical switch. A tie bar is operatively connected to the pins to mechanically tie the first control device plunger to the second control device plunger.
