    Abstract: An electrical contact includes a knife having a first portion, a second portion, and a fixed contact. The fixed contact comprises a galvanic contact point and an arc ignition point. The knife is configured to operate in a first position, where the knife insulated from the fixed contact; a second position, wherein the closest distance between the knife and the fixed contact is between the first portion and the arc ignition point to form an electrical arc between the first portion of the knife and the arc ignition point; a third position, wherein the closest distance between the knife and the fixed contact is between the second portion of the knife and the galvanic contact point; and a fourth position, where the knife and the fixed contact are electrically coupled, namely the second portion of the knife and the galvanic contact point are electrically coupled.

    Abstract: A lead frame 10 includes first and second frames 13, 14 and a fixed contact piece 15. The fixed contact piece 15 is integrally formed with the first frame via a conductive connection part 16. The first frame and the fixed contact piece 15 and the second frame have installation parts 13a, 14a, 14b, 15b to which resistance elements are able to install. The first frame 13 and the fixed contact piece have installation parts 13b, 15a to which resistance elements are able to install. Electrical circuits of different types are formed through combinations of whether the resistance elements are installed to the respective installation parts and whether the conductive connection part 16 is cut off.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a replacement touchless button for initiating an action upon proximate detection of a solid object near the top of the touchless button. The action is triggered by determining that the solid object is within a predetermined distance from the top of the button. The action is accomplished by the closing of an electrical circuit within the touchless button, the button being configured to replace a push button without modification of a panel housing the push button. The button contains and supports, within its structure, all electrical and physical components needed to operate a device that can be triggered via a push button. The button serves as a direct replacement for a push button with no modifications to existing systems or controls regularly triggered by a push button.

    Abstract: A circuit interrupting device including a vacuum interrupter, a capacitor, and an insulating housing. The vacuum interrupter includes a vacuum bottle and first and second contacts disposed within the vacuum bottle. The second contact is movable relative to the first contact between a closed position and an open position. The capacitor is electrically connected in parallel with the vacuum interrupter and wound around an outer surface of the vacuum bottle. The insulating housing encloses the capacitor and the vacuum interrupter.

    Abstract: A switch cap for a switch device that can reduce a pressing error of a switch is provided. A three-dimensional first cap main body moves by a force applied to a first abutting portion from a finger which is an operator. A first sensor is disposed in the first cap main body, and detects abutting or approach of the finger to the first abutting portion. A first transmission member is fixed to the inside of the first cap main body, and moves together with the first cap main body for first switching to transmit movement of the first cap main body to a push button which is a predetermined location of a switch device. A first sensor is formed in a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) disposed in the first cap main body, and the FPC is fixed by the first transmission member and the first cap main body.
