Abstract
An electrical switch has a casing, four fixed contacts, a moving contact located in the casing, and an operator supported by the casing for movement moving the moving contact into and out of contact with the fixed contacts. The casing has an aperture adjacent each fixed contact, through which an end of an electrical cable may be inserted for connection to the fixed contact. The aperture faces in a first direction, laterally outwards from the casing. The electrical switch includes a holder located on the casing immediately outside the aperture for holding an electrical cable connected through the aperture, bent, and extending in a second direction transverse to the first direction.
