Contactor auxiliary switch

A modular assembly for an auxiliary switch comprising:

• a printed circuit board including a first side and a second opposite side;
• and
• a first electrical contact separate from the printed circuit board, the first electrical contact having a planar first wall, a trifurcated second wall spaced from the first wall and having an arcuate section extending toward the first wall, and a base wall interconnecting the first and second walls, the first electrical contact selectively fixed to the printed circuit board with the first wall in direct contact with the first side to define a first electrical contact pad on the printed circuit board and the trifurcated second wall in direct contact with the second side.

An electrical contact for connection to a printed circuit board of an auxiliary switch comprising:

• a first wall, a second wall overlapping the first wall and a base wall interconnecting ends of the respective first and second walls, the second wall having a first portion which extends parallel to the first wall and an arcuate shaped second portion, wherein the electrical contact is formed of a spring steel and includes a first plating comprised of silver and a second exterior plating comprised of gold.

A method of configuring an auxiliary switch comprising:

• providing a printed circuit board having a first side and an opposite second side;
• and
• providing a separate first electrical contactor configured to be mounted to the printed circuit board so that a first electrical contact surface of the first electrical contactor overlaps and is in direct contact with one of the first side to configure the auxiliary switch as a normally closed single pole single throw switch and the second side of the printed circuit board to configure the auxiliary switch as a normally open single pole single throw switch.
